Frequent DEVICEMETADATA-MS Opening Issues

Microsoft Windows Removed

When trying to open your DEVICEMETADATA-MS file, you get the error "Can't Open DEVICEMETADATA-MS File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your DEVICEMETADATA-MS with Microsoft Windows, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When another DEVICEMETADATA-MS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows is Installed

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your Device Metadata Package file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Device Metadata Package file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.


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