How to open SPDESIGNXOML file?

The most common problem when using SharePoint Designer is that a specific SPDESIGNXOML is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SPDESIGNXOML files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPDESIGNXOML 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Office SharePoint Designer is installed on the computer.

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

Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNXOML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPDESIGNXOML file still does not use the Office SharePoint Designer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 SPDESIGNXOML 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 SPDESIGNXOML file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SPDESIGNXOML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPDESIGNXOML file. Sometimes virus-infected SPDESIGNXOML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPDESIGNXOML files changes over time. 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 SPDESIGNXOML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPDESIGNXOML 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPDESIGNXOML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 SPDESIGNXOML file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
