Newbie to XML question: What is required to run XML on a Windows XP SP2 desktop? (i.e. JRE, VM, etc.). I take XML samples and can run as html, but not xml. An Open XML Editor I am now using also points out root errors (for syntactically correct XML examples). Couldn't find a reference on-line. Any ideas? Thanks.
That depends on what you mean by "run XML". Since XML is data and not an executable program, it isn't obvious what you mean.
Run would mean like compiled options (i.e. .Net framework distributable, etc.) would mean to an executable program. Is there something on the OS other than a browser or even a specific browser required to "display" well formed and valid xml?

I don't understand that. I do understand what it means to run an executable program. That sounds to me like "Well, if XML were executable it would have these options." But it isn't executable.

A text editor works just fine. Unless "display" in quotes was supposed to mean something different from the normal English meaning of the word.
