Sources of XOML Problems

Issues Opening XOML Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Removed

When you double-click your XOML file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XOML with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Installed

Your Microsoft Visual Studio XOML File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Your Microsoft Visual Studio XOML File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your XOML file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of XOML file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.
