MXML Troubleshooting


Typical MXML Opening Challenges

Missing Notepad++

If you attempt to load your MXML file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open MXML Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Notepad++ installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the MXML file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens MXML files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Notepad++ Requires Update

In other instances, your Flex MXML Component file version may not be supported by your version of Notepad++. Download the latest Notepad++ version from the Don Ho website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Flex MXML Component file was probably created by a newer release of Notepad++ than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your MXML file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Regardless, most of the MXML file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Notepad++ installed.


Other MXML File Opening Causes

You can still experience errors opening MXML files even with the latest version of Notepad++ installed on your PC. If you are still having problems opening MXML files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for MXML are wrong
  • Deletion of the MXML file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Invalid installation of a MXML-associated program (eg. Notepad++)
  • Your MXML can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your MXML
  • Hardware related to MXMLs has device driver corruption
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Flex MXML Component file successfully
