Uninstalling Old MSXML Parser Versions

A

ACMrH

My network team recently sent me a Nessus Scan for my Windows 2012 servers. On it is listed a 'critical' issue of 'Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) and XML Core Services Unsupported'. I checked the server and lo and behold there are some MSXML#.dll files in there for version 3 (in addition to version 6).

To clean up the report I'd like to remove the old version, but I can not find a method to do this. It doesn't show up in windows features, uninstall programs, etc. What is the proper way to remove the old version? Simply delete the DLL? Or something more involved?

These servers are Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter edition. They were setup only a couple of months ago and while I don't recall installing old XML Parsers, it's possible it was auto installed or a coworker did it.

Thanks
