Microsoft has released a new Notepad, XML Notepad.  It is a full-featured, and well done XML Editor. If you don’t want the entire Office 2007 package which comes with an XML Editor (which I can’t stand by the way), XML is in my opinion the only other option. It’s a slick implementation and best of all, it’s free to download.

You can download the setup files here;

Double-click the msi file and then Click Next.

Accept the License Agreement;

By Default XML Notepad will install in the Program Files Directory, click Next.

It will then install.

Once it has finished installing you just click Finish, and launch the Program.

Here I have opened an XML file to show what it looks like.

XML Notepad can even show you the XSL Format Output which is like an XML Preview which is really nice.
