Vista - XPS Viewer not working

I am using Windows RC2 that has IE 7 built in. I cannot get the XPS viewer
to work. When I print a document to the XPS document writer, it seems to
save the document correctly. But I am unable to view the document. When I
click on the document, I get an error message that says XPS viewer stopped
working. I tried opening the XPS viewer directly but it would not open. I
am thinking I might need to reinstall the XPS viewer. How do I do
that?

cpawiz,

I just saved the MSN front page to an XPS document and I didn't have any
issues opening it after the fact.

To reinstall, you need to go into your Control Panel and select Turn Windows
Features on or off. Under Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 you will see the
option for XPS viewer. Remove it, let it uninstall, and then reinstall it.

Are there any errors in your event log that can provide some help?

I tried removing and reinstalling the XPS viewer. Still same problem. When
I get the error message and click on more information, this rather lengthy
text appears:
