PROVXML Troubleshooting
Issues Opening PROVXML Files
Windows Mobile Disappeared
If you attempt to load your PROVXML file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PROVXML Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Windows Mobile isn't installed on your PC. 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: Another PROVXML-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Windows Mobile is Out-of-Date
It is possible that your version of Windows Mobile isn't able to open your Microsoft Windows Provisioning XML Data file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Windows Mobile version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. 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 PROVXML, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Regardless, most of the PROVXML file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Windows Mobile installed.
Other PROVXML File Issues
Even with the correct version of Windows Mobile installed, you can still experience difficulties opening PROVXMLs. Other PROVXML opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:
- Windows Registry PROVXML file paths that are incorrect
- The PROVXML file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of Windows Mobile that did not fully complete
- Something has caused file corruption of your PROVXML
- Malware-tainted PROVXML file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with PROVXML software need to be updated
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Microsoft Windows Provisioning XML Data file successfully
