XLT File Complications
Frequent XLT Opening Issues
Microsoft Excel Not Present
When trying to open your XLT file, you get the error "Can't Open XLT File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Excel missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XLT 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 XLT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Excel
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Excel Template File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Microsoft Excel version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Excel Template File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Excel than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Investigate your XLT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of XLT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Excel version installed.
Other XLT File Issues
You can still experience errors opening XLT files even with the latest version of Microsoft Excel installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening XLT files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:
- Invalid XLT file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry XLT description
- Defective install of a XLT program, such as Microsoft Excel
- Your XLT file is corrupted (issues with your Excel Template File file itself)
- Malware-tainted XLT file can't be opened
- XLT-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Excel Template File format
