XML and version of MS XML Dom Document versions

I am revising a classic asp page. I am using localhost, Windows 10 and IIS v10. I need to work with xml.
The original coding used MSXML2.DOMDocument. I am not even sure if I have ANY version of MSXML on my computer.
I know version 6 is the latest. And I am pretty sure that I don't have because I could not register a ocx to read what versions
I had installed if any - the error I received, which according to Microsoft, - indicates of MSXML not being installed at all
I looked in control panel -> programs but did not see any reference to it.
So I downloaded 2 files: msxml6_SDK.msi and msxml6_msi.
Which do I need to install ? Or does it matter? Will it also provide documentation?

Thank you for responding. I will check the registry . After posting my question , I did a search on my drive and came up with MSXML6.dll (and MSXML3.dll) in the windows\system32 directory - But there must be changes ( and that makes sense because they originally used MSXML2 version in the original page) since I receive the error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime  error '800a01a8' 

Object required: 'xdDoc.selectSingleNode(...)'
