Understanding HO Issues
Frequent HO Opening Issues
Missing my Knowledge Explorer
You attempt to load your HO file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The HO File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to my Knowledge Explorer missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the HO file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: Another HO-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
my Knowledge Explorer is Out-of-Date
Your Knowledge Explorer Knowledge Representation Hierarchy Outline file is incompatible with my Knowledge Explorer because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of my Knowledge Explorer from Open Source is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Knowledge Explorer Knowledge Representation Hierarchy Outline file was created by a different (newer) version of my Knowledge Explorer than what's installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the HO file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Conclusion: The majority of HO file opening issues are due to not having the correct my Knowledge Explorer version installed.
