Troubleshooting Problems Opening MSH2XML Files
Issues Opening MSH2XML Files
Microsoft Windows PowerShell is Not Installed
When you double-click your MSH2XML file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows PowerShell isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the MSH2XML file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When another MSH2XML application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows PowerShell is Installed
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows PowerShell won't support your Windows PowerShell Script File file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows PowerShell installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Right-clicking on your MSH2XML, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening MSH2XML files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows PowerShell installed on your computer.
Additional MSH2XML Opening Issues
