Sources of XBL Problems

Troubles Opening XBL Files

XBLite is Not Installed

Double-clicking your XBL file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XBL File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because XBLite 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: Another XBL-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Wrong Version of XBLite is Installed

Your XBLite Source Code File file is incompatible with XBLite because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of XBLite if you don't have the right version.

Tip: Right-clicking on your XBL, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Regardless, most of the XBL file opening problems relate to not having the right version of XBLite installed.
