NativeXml has the option of writing CRLF (aka "Windows end-of-lines") instead of just LF (just LF is used in normalisation by default). See TNativeXml.EolStyle. I don't know if MSXML also has such option.
You can try NativeXml, it is free and open-source:

Embarcadero obviously doesn't want developers to give solutions using their open-source projects, even tho they are very on-topic. Be warned!
