What is HMXP file?

The file in the HMXP format belongs to the Data Files category. It was designed by EC Software. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Help & Manual XML Project is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Help & Manual application is recommended to open the file. It was released by EC Software GmbH.

How to open HMXP file?

The main problem with Help & Manual XML Project is that the HMXP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HMXP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMXP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Help & Manual

In this case, you should first verify that the Help & Manual application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Help & Manual in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HMXP with Help & Manual. Below you will find a list of applications that support HMXP files.

Programs to open HMXP file

Remember to download programs supporting HMXP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Help & Manual with HMXP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HMXP file still does not use the Help & Manual program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Help & Manual application as the default for handling the HMXP file.

Step 3. Update Help & Manual to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Help & Manual program, it is possible that Help & Manual XML Project requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the EC Software GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMXP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HMXP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HMXP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HMXP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HMXP file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HMXP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EC Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HMXP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HMXP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HMXP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HMXP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
