Common Problems Opening XVP Files

XView Isn't There

Double-clicking your XVP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XVP File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have XView for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your XVP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your XVP, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Outdated XView

Your Xview Package File file is incompatible with XView because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest XView version from the Sun Microsystems website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Xview Package File file was probably created by a newer release of XView than what's currently installed your computer.

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

Regardless, most of the XVP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of XView installed.
