Hi,

I have a native C++ app that uses an sproxy.exe generated web service
client class. The underlying xml parser uses msxml3 and it appears to
leak memory every time a web service is called. According to MSDN[1]
this is by design and is caused by delayed garbage collection, however
it seems that in this case the delay is indefinite and this leads
eventually to the process using up all the physical memory and then
using virtual memory leading to very poor performance.

I would like to try msxml6 to see if that is any better but I can't
figure out how to make it do that.

What I have tried is this:

In atlsoap.h there is a

#include "msxml2.h"

and later
...
#pragma comment(lib, "msxml2.lib")

I have changed these to msxml6 and also set my VS project to
statically link ATL. After doing this VS detects that msxml6.dll is a
dependency but when I profile the app in depends.exe I see it is still
using msxml3.dll.

Also I understand that you can also specify which version of a dll to
use using the manifest, however I've been so far unable to find the
publicKeyToken for any version of msxml6, so I can't get this to work.

Anyone know how to make atlsoap use msxml6?
