    I think you should look for every item on google. MSXML 4.0 is a Windows component. That folder DL_cats is some kind of driver for Lexmark printers.

    Remember that it's often helpful to put multiple word searches in quotation marks. Like that makemsi package documentation thing. Put the whole thing in quotes in google so that it searches for that full name.
