I think these all have something in common, but I'm not exactly sure what. I think a few months ago, someone on my computer tried to get Visual Basic 6.0, but accidentally downloaded these instead:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK
MSXML 6.0 Parser
OpenPG Secure Module 3.2
I know it's quite a hefty bundle, but help would much be appreciated. I was just wondering how many of these programs I could safely remove.

Unless you are doing something with SQL you can remove all of the ones with that in them.
MSXML Parser
Microsoft's XML parser is a COM component that comes with Internet Explorer 5 and higher. Once you have installed Internet Explorer, the parser is available to scripts.
Microsoft's XML parser supports all the necessary functions to traverse the node tree, access the nodes and their attribute values, insert and delete nodes, and convert the node tree back to XML
I am not sure about OpenPG

Bundle was the right description, because these were all probably part of the same bundle that comes with Visual Basic 6.0.
If you do not want any of these programs, then you will be safe uninstalling all of them. Just make sure that is what you would like to do, before you do it, because there is no turning back.
These are awesome programs. I recommend that you read about what they are, and what they can do, before you unistall them.

I don't know about that last one, OpenPG. But all the others were probably installed by one of the "Express" editions of Visual Basic, or maybe a trial of Visual Studio. Just uninstall them.
