Persisted XML files cannot be opened...

I'm getting a most bizarre error and I'm at my wits end trying to diagnose
this:

Persisted XML files cannot be opened with the version of the Microsoft XML
Parser currently installed on this computer. Upgrade your system through a
Windows 95/98 Service Release or Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

OK, I know where this error is emanating from. I do use XML to persist and
de-persist recordsets in my software. The minimum supported platform is
Win2K. The software is running on hundreds of workstations with no problem.
What makes this error message so bizarre is that, in this case, the software
is running on Win XP Pro. Yet the error message recommends a Win 95/98
Service Pack upgrade. Just a bad error message?

Here are the stats:

WinXP Pro
IE 6.0.28
MDAC 2.7
MSXML 4.0

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks for your help.
