Troubleshooting Problems Opening SITEMAP Files


Common Problems Opening SITEMAP Files

Missing Microsoft Visual Studio

You attempt to load your SITEMAP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SITEMAP File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SITEMAP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens SITEMAP files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Installed

Your ASP.NET Site Map File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Visual Studio (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your ASP.NET Site Map File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Right-clicking on your SITEMAP, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening SITEMAP files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer.
