GCC-XML is an excellent choice for this purpose.  This is specifically the
reason it was written.

I'll need a little more information.  Here are a few things to do:

 - Check the directory where you installed GCC-XML.
    * What are the contents of the "config" file in this directory?
    * Is there a "VcInclude" subdirectory present?  If so, what files
      are present?

 - Was MSVC 6 installed before you installed GCC-XML, or did you install
   it afterwards?

 - What is the output of the following command?

     gccxml test.cpp -fxml=output.xml --print

Thanks,
