Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Stopped Working? Missing MSXML6?

So we've been working with the Visual Studio 8 Beta via the Microsoft provided VHDs, which seems to be working quite nicely except if I'm running that vm on my workstation, that's pretty much all I can run. Any way I rebooted my machine after removing SQL Server 2005 and went to start up my VS8 beta vm and BOOM! It wouldn't start at all. After checking the Virtual Server Event Log we found the following error:

Virtual Server encountered an unexpected error, 0x00000003.

Dang! After some digging it turns out that when I remove SQL Server 2005 it also removed my already registered MS Xml parser 6 dll which is required by Virtual Server... Gah.

So the fix is easy, either download Microsoft Core XML Services 6 from Microsoft or otherwise get a copy of msxml6.dll, copy it into your Windows\System32 directory. On the command line type:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msxml6.dll

And then like magic when you go to start the Virtual Server service it should start up like it should have in the first place.

Thanks for nothing SQL Server installer.
