TestComplete: Win10: How to read an XML file

I am trying to read an XML file and log out the contents.

 

Going by the example in the TestComplete help,

I get 'Object expected' from using either of the line of code below.

 

// If you have MSXML 4: 

var Doc = getActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");

 

// If you have MSXML 6:  

var Doc = getActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");

 

I am using Win10 OS, and not quite sure if I have MSXML 4: or 6 installed or

even if those are still valid for use on WIn10 ?

 

Does the below code work on Win10 ?

    Figured it out.

     

    Looked at syntax for Javascript instead of Jscript:

     

    Should be:

     

    1.   // If you have MSXML 4:
        var Doc = Sys.OleObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");


        // If you have MSXML 6:
        var Doc = Sys.OleObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");

    I do have these files on my Win10 computer:

     

     

    Just do not understand when trying to run the code, why I am getting Object expected.
