Troubleshoot XDELTA Files
Common XDELTA Opening Problems
xdelta is Not Installed
If you attempt to load your XDELTA file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open XDELTA Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because xdelta isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your XDELTA with xdelta, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: If you don't have xdelta installed, and you know of another program to open your XDELTA file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of xdelta
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of xdelta installed that's incompatible with your Xdelta Binary Differential File type. Installing the latest version of xdelta from Open Source is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Xdelta Binary Differential File file was created by a newer version of xdelta than you have on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the XDELTA file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the XDELTA file opening problems relate to not having the right version of xdelta installed.
Other XDELTA File Opening Causes
Although you might already have xdelta or another XDELTA-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Xdelta Binary Differential File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading XDELTA files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for XDELTA
- Unintentional removal of the description of the XDELTA file inside the Windows Registry
- xdelta or another XDELTA application experienced a flawed installation
- File corruption affecting your XDELTA file
- Malware-tainted XDELTA file can't be opened
- Hardware associated with XDELTA has outdated drivers
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Xdelta Binary Differential File file
