If you load an XML file in IE 6 or IE 7 then it uses MSXML 3 to parse 
XML and, if you have e.g.
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sheet.xml"?>
to run the XSLT transformation. IE can only use other MSXML versions 
like MSXML 6 if you script the transformation meaning you start with a 
HTML document with script that instantiates MSXML 6 objects to 
load/parse/transform XML. However MSXML 6 is not a .NET application but 
a COM solution so it does not support running C# code inside of an XSLT 
stylesheet either.

Maybe, depending on where you run the transformation. Inside of IE 
everything runs in the browser sandbox so starting up other applications 
is usually, with normal security settings, not possible.
