XSLT Command Line Transform Processor

OKay,

So there are XSLT files that contain transform elements. These can be processed by the XslCompiledTransform class in a .Net application.

However, we need something that is already built. Given this is a Microsoft Class, i would have expected a bare-bones base level utility in either the Visual Studio Enterprise, or associated Microsoft SDKs that would allow me to execute:

c:\>xslt mytransformfile.xslt myinputfile.xml

And get the results. Does this even exist?

I thought that's what "xsltc.exe" was, but it appears to be a "compiler" not a "transform processor"

Does Microsoft have a built in transform processor?

Thanks

    From MS, there is Command Line Transformation Utility (msxsl.exe)
    but it is very old

    I just tested it with sample from MSXSL.EXE: Microsoft Command Line XSL Transformation Utility
