excel - Xpath syntax to select nodes with multiple attributes in the path

My xml tree contains this in the structure

<foo name="bar">
    <location order="1">data1</location>
    <location order="2">data2</location>
</foo>

I'm trying to refer to anywhere in the tree where location order ="2" (there could be 1000s of them) to manipulate all data2 texts. I cannot get vba to recognize it with an xpath string assignment.

I've tried many things but the thing that makes the makes the most sense to me is

xPath = "//prefix:foo[@name='bar']/location[@order='2']" 

It does however recognize the xPath assignment to foo if I remove.

"/location[@order='2']"

Am I doing something wrong in the xpath syntax? Or is there more to assigning a path to a node containing several attributes to be selected in the tree structure?

Maybe I'm trying to use the wrong methods to access the variable?

Dim list as IXMLDOMNodeList
Set list = xDoc.SelectNodes(xPath)
Debug.Print list.length

Gives me a 0 but there are two instances of those specific nodes in my xml

Edit: Still giving me zero after doing some things with yours. Here's an example xml so you can see namespace. I can still get it to print a length if I leave out the "/location[@order='2']". Also to clarify, I only am interested in the path that is , there could be many other foo nodes with the child . These I do not care about for now.

EDITED

Using your updated XML, this code gives me "data2" and "data2" as output:

Sub Tester3()

    Dim xmlDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument30
    Dim objNodes As IXMLDOMNodeList, o As Object

    xmlDoc.async = False
    xmlDoc.LoadXML Range("C1").Value
    xmlDoc.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"

    '### this takes care of the namespace ###
    xmlDoc.setProperty "SelectionNamespaces", _
                     "xmlns:xx='uri:mybikes:wheels'"

    If xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then

        MsgBox "Error!" & vbCrLf & _
        "  Line: " & xmlDoc.parseError.Line & vbCrLf & _
        "  Text:" & xmlDoc.parseError.srcText & vbCrLf & _
        "  Reason: " & xmlDoc.parseError.reason

    Else
        '### note: adding the namespace alias prefix defined above ###
        Set objNodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//xx:foo[@name='bar']/xx:location[@order='2']")

        If objNodes.Length = 0 Then
            Debug.Print "not found"
        Else
            For Each o In objNodes
                Debug.Print o.nodeTypedValue
            Next o
        End If 'have line items

    End If 'parsed OK
End Sub
