The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPDESIGNXML 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 Office SharePoint Designer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Office SharePoint Designer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Office SharePoint Designer in it.

Programs to open SPDESIGNXML file
Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNXML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPDESIGNXML file still does not use the Office SharePoint Designer program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SPDESIGNXML file with the Office SharePoint Designer program.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Office SharePoint Designer with SharePoint Designer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNXML file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPDESIGNXML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SPDESIGNXML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPDESIGNXML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SPDESIGNXML 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SPDESIGNXML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPDESIGNXML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SPDESIGNXML file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SPDESIGNXML file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
