Microsoft has released version 1.0 of the XML Paper Specification Essentials Pack. The pack is available for Windows Vista or Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server (both 32 bit and 64 bit versions is available).

XPS Reader EPXPS Essentials Pack contains

  • An XPS viewer called XPS Viewer EP - for reading XPS files
  • An XPS Document writer - for printing to an XPS file
  • Filters for previewing (IPreview) and searching (IFilter) XPS files
  • Windows Shell handlers, for Windows Explorer integration and thumbnails

Note: On Windows Vista Internet Explorer will still be the default viewer for XPS files. Just right click any XPS file and choose Open With and then Choose Default Program. In the dialog choose the XPS viewer you want to use as default.

Screenshot from websnpr make sure that your MSXML 6 and .NET 3.0 installs are fine. Try to uninstall and install them again.
