XML Troubleshooting


Common Problems Opening XML Files

MacroMates TextMate Disappeared

Double-clicking your XML file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open XML File". If so, it typically means that you don't have MacroMates TextMate installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your XML file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have MacroMates TextMate installed, and you know of another program to open your XML file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Obsolete Version of MacroMates TextMate

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a XML File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest MacroMates TextMate version from the MacroMates website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your XML File file was probably created by a newer release of MacroMates TextMate than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening XML files are due to having the wrong version of MacroMates TextMate installed.


Other Causes of XML File Opening Problems

Errors opening XML File files can still occur even with the latest MacroMates TextMate software installed on your computer. Other XML opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for XML
  • Corruption of the XML file description inside the Registry
  • Defective install of a XML program, such as MacroMates TextMate
  • Your XML can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your XML has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with XML has outdated drivers
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the XML File file
