Installation requires uninstall of MSXML 6.0 and other WPF tools?

[jrboddie]

I am interested in trying the Beta version of Expression Blend but am
confused about the requirements listed in the download instructions for the
XP SP2 platform.

1. The instructions say that MSXML 6.0 should be removed. Isn't this the
latest MS core XML service? What will happen to other programs that use it?

2. The instructions also say to remove all previous version of Windows
Presentation Foundation. Does this mean that I would have to remove the SDK
for .Net 3.0? I just installed the latest version which (I believe) is rtm
status.

Of course, I already have the .Net 3.0 framework installed as well as Visual
Studio Express C#.

Is 6.0 the latest? I didnt have to remove anything.

It means that if you have anything pre RTM of .NET remove it. And of
course you need to install .NET 3.0 RTM before Blend, Blend won't
install it fo ryou.

You should not have to uninstall anything if all you installed with .Net 3.0
and Expression Blend, and if you did not have any previous CTPs of .Net
Framework installed on your machine.

Thanks,
