Understanding COVERAGEXML Issues

Frequent COVERAGEXML Opening Issues

Missing Microsoft Visual Studio

If you attempt to load your COVERAGEXML file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open COVERAGEXML Files". 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. Your operating system cannot associate your COVERAGEXML with Microsoft Visual Studio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: Another COVERAGEXML-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Microsoft Visual Studio Requires Update

Your Microsoft Visual Studio Code Coverage File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Visual Studio Code Coverage File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of COVERAGEXML file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

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