This was it! Thank you, Alain.

Thank you, Larry,
with your hints I can run your code.

It is recommended by MS (improved security), but it could happen, that the
user must install it first.

The MSDN sample uses a xsl input; you use xml, imo you can omit setting the
SelectionNamespaces property.
I added a xml declaration at the beginning to declare the utf-8 encoding.

The parser starts at the root, so you can address a node relative like
this:
const char *expression = "email/record_key/test_element/@attribute1";
Note the slash before the at.
(For absolute addressing the expression starts with a slash.)

Instead of UTF8_CODEPAGE you can use CP_UTF8,
and DIM can be replaced by _countof() (MSVC specific).

Regards,
Friedel

Thanks Again Friedel and everybody:

I pulled the SelectionNamespaces property from the sample, and my
implementation, re-composed some of the expressions I was using to
select nodes from the XML. Things are now working.

I was using the examples for extracting XML attributes at

http://www.tizag.com/xmlTutorial/xpathattribute.php

Their sample expression for attribute is:

inventory/snack/chips(a)supplier

Notice the absence of "/" between node and attribute.

It seems I haven't composed some other expressions either.
Prefacing node names that aren't at the root with "//" also works.

As stated before, I appreciate everybody's assistance.

Thanks
Larry

IMO this is a typo.
XPath doc:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116

If you happen to speak a little bit German, here are easy-to-understand
samples:

// is the short form of /descendant-or-self::node()/
The parser works the context node and its subtree (this can be a
performance hit).

Have a nice weekend,
Friedel
