Installing xmllint
For users of Chocolatey, installing xmllint is rather simple:
choco install xsltproc
This package contains the xmllint, iconv, xmlcatalog, and xsltproc commands, and any dependencies are installed automatically.
I had the same problem and it took me two hours to make it work.
- Download iconv, libxml2, libxmlsec , zlib from ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/
- Extract the zip file then copy all the files in the bin folder of each download.
- Paste the files in a folder (mine = XML)
- Add the 'C:\folderName' (mine = 'C:\XML') in the path system variable.
(btw, im using windows 8, for win7 users here's a link http://www.itechtalk.com/thread3595.html) :
- windows key + r (run window)
- type control panel then press enter
- type path in search box
- under System - click edit the system environment variable
- 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 win8 charms ( I should have thought of that)
- 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
everything's fine, CONGRATS
Else
If you also have this warning : failed to load external entity "fileName.xml"
-- they say its a bug so I downloaded an older version of libxml2 from http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/
OR (I just saw this solution earlier)
-- 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)
