I have an old PowerSurvey license v008.11.09.878. I am working on Windows 10 OS Build 19044.1766. PowerSurvey is working well. I am looking for a new laptop. Will PowerSurvey work on a Windows 11 machine?
Thanks,
Dan
Ah ha! I was struggling with this for a few days, but this finally got me going in the right direction! Thanks!
Microsoft only includes MSXML3 and MSXML6 in Windows 11, so I copied msxml4.dll and msxml4r.dll from c:\windows\syswow64 on a Windows 10 machine to the same folder on Windows 11 and then ran "regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msxml4.dll" from an elevated command prompt and I can open XIN files again.
DHTML is strange issue as the one included in prerequisite doesn't work on some computers while older downloaded from Microsoft works.. Could related to Windows localization.
I have been able to install the MSXML dll and have not had to deal with the DHTML issue. I think the prerequisite install takes care of it.

As there is still no real replacement for PowerSurvey I understand the need to keep it running. It may run but you will have issues with need to install DHTML control and MSXML (XIN is blank issue). Not sure if it will allow to install on W11 as mostly W11 comes as upgrade of existing older installation.
I was finding the Power Platform (InRoads) to be specific was not stable under Windows 11. In reviewing the log files created when it crashed, I noticed some Direct X errors. Indications were that the graphics were being processed by Windows and not my NVIDIA Card. In the cards control panel, I was able to configure Power InRoads to run using NVIDIA for its graphics and things are more stable.
However, my Windows 11 is not particularly stable and my warranty supplied technician has recommended a clean reinstall and since that will require a reinstall of most programs, suggests rolling back to Windows 10 until the next major upgrade this November, once we can see how its stability is confirmed.
I'd try to get one with Windows 10 installed but with a free upgrade at your convenience.
