XEE File Complications


Common Problems Opening XEE Files

Expression Encoder Isn't There

Double-clicking your XEE file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XEE File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Expression Encoder 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: When another XEE application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Incorrect Expression Encoder Version

Sometimes your installed version of Expression Encoder won't support your Microsoft Expression Encoder Preset file. If you've got the wrong version of Expression Encoder 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: Investigate your XEE file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of XEE file opening issues are due to not having the correct Expression Encoder version installed.


Other XEE File Opening Causes

Errors opening Microsoft Expression Encoder Preset files can still occur even with the latest Expression Encoder software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening XEE files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry XEE file paths that are incorrect
  • Corruption of the XEE file description inside the Registry
  • Invalid installation of a XEE-associated program (eg. Expression Encoder)
  • XEE file corruption
  • XEE file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Drivers associated with XEE software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Microsoft Expression Encoder Preset file successfully
