How to open WIXOUT file?
The main problem with WiX XML Output is that the WIXOUT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WIXOUT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIXOUT 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 Windows Installer XML
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Installer XML program installed. This can be achieved by typing Windows Installer XML into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WIXOUT.
Programs to open WIXOUT file
Remember to download programs supporting WIXOUT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Installer XML with WIXOUT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WIXOUT file to open in the Windows Installer XML application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 WIXOUT file with the Windows Installer XML program.
Step 3. Update Windows Installer XML to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Installer XML with WiX XML Output 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 WIXOUT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 WIXOUT 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WIXOUT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WIXOUT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WIXOUT 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WIXOUT 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 WIXOUT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WIXOUT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WIXOUT to close. However, some background programs may block the WIXOUT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
