Troubleshoot DIX Files


Typical DIX Opening Challenges

DIVA-GIS Not Present

When trying to open your DIX file, you get the error "Can't Open DIX File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because DIVA-GIS isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your DIX file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Outdated DIVA-GIS

Sometimes your installed version of DIVA-GIS won't support your DIVA-GIS Export File file. Visit the Robert Hijmans website to download (or purchase) the latest version of DIVA-GIS. This issue mainly occurs when your DIVA-GIS Export File file was created by a newer version of DIVA-GIS than you have on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your DIX file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening DIX files are due to having the incorrect version of DIVA-GIS installed on your computer.


More Causes of Problems Opening DIXs

Although you might already have DIVA-GIS or another DIX-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening DIVA-GIS Export File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening DIX files. Additional factors include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for DIX are wrong
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the DIX file inside the Windows Registry
  • Invalid installation of a DIX-associated program (eg. DIVA-GIS)
  • The DIX itself is corrupted
  • The DIX is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers for DIX-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your DIVA-GIS Export File file
