If you have the latest Platform SDK, this should work:

#include <msxml2.h>

int main() {

 CoInitialize(NULL); // Don't forget this

 IXMLDOMDocument2* pXMLDoc;

 HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(
    CLSID_DOMDocument40,  // Class identifier of DOMDocument object
      NULL,       // no aggregation
      CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, // run server in process
      IID_IXMLDOMDocument2, // requested interface of DOMDocument object
      (void**)&pXMLDoc);  // where to put the pointer to the interface

   // do stuff with pXMLDoc interface
   // use QueryInterface to get other DOM interfaces

   if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
      pXMLDoc->Release(); // remember to release interfaces when you are
finished with them

 CoUninitialize();

 return 0;
}

The msxml2.h header is self sufficient and will include rpc.h and rpcndr.h
(where MIDL_INTERFACE is defined), but only if rpcndr.h is version 440 or
higher. The version that comes with BC5 is old and will not work.

You need to update the platform SDK. It is availible here
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/.
Remember to point the project include directory to whereever you install the
SDK, otherwise BC5 will continue to use the old headers.

Also, remember to link with ole32.lib and msxml2.lib.
