HXR File Complications


Frequent HXR Opening Issues

Microsoft Visual Studio Isn't There

Double-clicking your HXR file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open HXR File". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your HXR because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your HXR file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Help Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Most of the time your Microsoft Help Data File file was created by a newer Microsoft Visual Studio than what you have installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the HXR file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening HXR files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed.


Additional HXR Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Visual Studio version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening HXR files. Other HXR opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

  • Invalid HXR file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Deletion of the HXR file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Invalid installation of a HXR-associated program (eg. Microsoft Visual Studio)
  • HXR file corruption
  • Your HXR is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to HXRs has device driver corruption
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Microsoft Help Data File file

Poll: Do you use a computer or mobile device more often to view files?
