Troubleshoot ESX Files

Typical ESX Opening Challenges

Xactimate Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open ESX Files" when trying to open your ESX. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Xactimate isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the ESX file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

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

Xactimate Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Xactimate isn't able to open your Xactimate Insurance Claims Estimate file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Xactimate installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Xactimate Insurance Claims Estimate file was created by a newer version of Xactimate than you have on your PC.

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

Primarily, problems experienced when opening ESX files are due to having the incorrect version of Xactimate installed on your computer.

Associated Difficulties Loading ESX Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Xactimate will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening ESX files. Issues that aren't software-related:

• ESX file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Unintentional removal of the description of the ESX file inside the Windows Registry
• Invalid installation of a ESX-associated program (eg. Xactimate)
• Something has caused file corruption of your ESX
• ESX file integrity has been compromised by malware
• ESX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows cannot load your Xactimate Insurance Claims Estimate file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
