That just means that Windows does not know where msxml is located.  You need
to do one of these things:

1) Add its location to the path
2) Run it from a batch file whose location is on the path.
3) Get 4DOS or 4NT (these are are superb replacements for command.com and
cmd.exe respectively) and create an alias for msxml.
4) Set an environmental variable to the location of msxml and run it like
this:

set ms_xml=c:\path\to\msxml\msxml.exe
%ms_xml% xpath.xml xpath.xsl -o output.html

5) Copy the msxml file into the directory from which you are running the
command.

Since I run 4NT on my Win2000 system, (3) is what I would do.  Otherwise,
(2) would be my choice.
