Installing xmllint

I had the same problem and it took me two hours to make it work.

1. Download iconv, libxml2, libxmlsec, and zlib from [ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/][1]
2. Extract the zip file then copy all the files in the bin folder of each download.
3. Paste the files in a folder (mine = XML)
4. Add the C:\folderName (mine = C:\XML) in the path system variable.
   (I’m using Windows 8, for Windows 7 users here’s a link):
   • Windows key + r (run window)
   • Type control panel then press Enter.
   • Type path in search box.
   • Under System, click “Edit the system environment variables”.
   • Under the Advanced tab, click “Environment variables”.
   • In the System variables look for Path → Edit → add ;C:\folderName,
   • or just type path in search box located in your Windows 8 charms.
5. Make it work (I only type xmllint and I had no idea why I cant see the xmllint window. This is a note for beginners)

   • copy a xml file into the xmllint directory

   • type xmllint --valid --noout fileName.xml.

     If you get this message:

     warning : failed to load external entity “fileName.xml”

     then that’s likely a bug so download an older version of libxml2 from http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/ or assign another folder to your XML files and run xmllint from there.

     In the command window :

     • cd C:\Users\user name\Documents\XML files.
     • Once you’re inside it, type the xmllint commands e.g. xmllint --valid --noout fileName.xml).
