CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying sqlcm.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (64-bit) XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing sqlcm.xml and all other XML files for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (64-bit). An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
