If you're working with MSXML, a must-read resource is the Unofficial
MSXML XSLT FAQ at http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm, which
has direct links to the latest version of MSXML, the xmlinst tool for
forcing IE to use the latest MSXML, step by step instructions for using
xmlinst, and links to other MS-specific XSL resources (like the MSXML
version sniffer to tell you what version you have installed).

And I can verify that to the original poster that you can do what you
want to do -- double-click on a DocBook XML document and view it in
Internet Explorer with the full XSL stylesheet applied automatically. 
We do it all the time here.  It's a pain to set up, but once it works,
it works very smoothly.

Hope this helps.
