Also whether or not you have installed XML 4 is irrelevant. you are using
"Microsoft.XMLDOM" which will give you version 3 at best. You should use
"Msxml2.DomDocument.4.0" to be certain.

Stupid question perhaps, but are you sure your source document is valid?
The only two typical reasons for MSXML giving you a null document element
are either because the file doesn't exist (or is unreachable on the
server),
or an error occurs during parsing. Unless of course you're loading a
massive document on a severely memory-limited client...I guess that might
cause it too.

PS I'm sure someone will mention that this isn't an XSLT question though :)
