Due to problems associated with installing MSXML4 (like this) we want to switch to MSXML6. Are there any known issues associated with this or is such transition smooth and painless?

A:
This comment isn't so much about the 4 to 6 transition as it is about the MSXML6 installer itself. Apparently some people do experience problems getting it installed properly. When not properly installed, it breaks the Add-In Manager in Visual Studio.
Quote from this page:
"There is a reported problem that happens when MSXML 6.0 is not installed correctly. In this case the Add-In Manager doesn't show any XML-based add-in (using an .AddIn file for registration). It shows only registry-based add-ins. So, if the Add-In Manager is empty when it should show several installed add-ins (not only yours), try reinstalling MSXML 6.0."
