Troubleshoot XBAP Files


Troubles Opening XBAP Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Isn't There

Double-clicking your XBAP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XBAP File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your XBAP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your XBAP file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Outdated Microsoft Visual Studio

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Visual Studio won't support your XAML Browser Application File file. Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your XAML Browser Application File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: If you right-click on your XBAP file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Regardless, most of the XBAP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed.


Other XBAP File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Visual Studio will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening XBAP files. Other contributing causes:

  • XBAP file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the XBAP file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Visual Studio that did not fully complete
  • XBAP file corruption
  • Your XBAP is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to XBAPs has device driver corruption
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open XAML Browser Application File files
