XSLT File Complications


Troubles Opening XSLT Files

Microsoft Notepad Not Present

Double-clicking your XSLT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XSLT File". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Notepad is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your XSLT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your XSLT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Notepad installed that's incompatible with your XSL Transformation File type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Notepad. This problem is predominately due to having a XSL Transformation File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Notepad than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your XSLT, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Notepad version on your computer can cause problems opening XSLT files.


More Causes of Problems Opening XSLTs

Errors opening XSL Transformation File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening XSLT files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for XSLT are wrong
  • Corruption of the XSLT file description inside the Registry
  • Microsoft Notepad or another XSLT application experienced a flawed installation
  • The XSLT itself is corrupted
  • Your XSLT has adversely impacted by malware
  • Drivers associated with XSLT software need to be updated
  • Windows cannot load your XSL Transformation File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
