HXF Troubleshooting
Issues Opening HXF Files
Microsoft Windows is Not Installed
When trying to open your HXF file, you get the error "Can't Open HXF File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your HXF, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Outdated Microsoft Windows
In other instances, your Microsoft Help 2 Project Include File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Windows. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Help 2 Project Include File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than you have on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your HXF file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening HXF files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows installed on your computer.
