Troubleshooting Problems Opening XEN Files

Typical XEN Opening Challenges

Guitar Hero 3 Disappeared

When you double-click your XEN file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Guitar Hero 3 isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your XEN with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your XEN, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Outdated Guitar Hero 3

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Guitar Hero 3 Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Guitar Hero 3 installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Guitar Hero 3 Data File file was probably created by a newer release of Guitar Hero 3 than what's currently installed your computer.

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

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening XEN files are due to having the wrong version of Guitar Hero 3 installed.
