Microsoft Internet Component Download Reference

This Internet Component Download reference contains all the elements defined by the Msicd.dtd file. These elements are used to describe distribution units in Open Software Description (OSD) files.

To use these elements in OSD files, an XML (Extensible Markup Language) name space must be created using the following line in the OSD file:

<?XML::namespace href="http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/msicd.dtd" as="msicd"?>

To use the tags in the XML name space, prefix the tag with the name space name and two colons. For the JAVA tag, it would be used as follows:

<MSICD::JAVA>

All tags within name-space-defined tags must be defined in the name space and do not need to be prefixed with the name of the name space. Some of the elements defined in the Msicd.dtd file redefine elements that are defined in the Open Software Description Reference, so they can be used within the name space. For more information on OSD, see the Open Software Description (OSD) documentation.
