Troubles Opening EXI Files

exSILentia is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open EXI Files" when trying to open your EXI. If so, it typically means that you don't have exSILentia installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the EXI file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your EXI file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Incorrect exSILentia Version

Sometimes your installed version of exSILentia won't support your ExSILentia Project file. Installing the latest version of exSILentia from exida.com is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a ExSILentia Project file version that was created by a newer version of exSILentia than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of EXI file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening EXI files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Other EXI File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right exSILentia version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening EXI files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening EXIs. Other contributing causes:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for EXI
• Unintentional removal of the description of the EXI file inside the Windows Registry
• Corrupt install of exSILentia or other EXI-related program
• Something has caused file corruption of your EXI
• Your EXI is infected with malware
• EXI-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your ExSILentia Project file successfully
