Troubleshooting Problems Opening VXML Files
Issues Opening VXML Files
Microsoft Notepad Isn't There
When you double-click your VXML file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Notepad missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your VXML because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When another VXML application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Notepad won't support your VoiceXML File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Notepad. This issue mainly occurs when your VoiceXML File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Notepad than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your VXML file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening VXML files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Notepad installed on your computer.
Other VXML File Opening Causes
Assuming you have the right Microsoft Notepad version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening VXML files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VXML files. Problems unrelated to software:
- Invalid VXML file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Accidental deletion of the description of the VXML file in the Windows registry
- Corrupt install of Microsoft Notepad or other VXML-related program
- Your VXML file is corrupted (issues with your VoiceXML File file itself)
- Malware-tainted VXML file can't be opened
- Hardware related to VXMLs has device driver corruption
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open VoiceXML File files
