In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. XTree For Windows Script is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open XCL file?

The most common problem when using XTree For Windows Script is that a specific XCL is not associated with the program. This causes the file XCL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

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

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

Programs to open XCL file

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

Step 2. Create association of XTreeGold with XCL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XCL file still does not use the XTreeGold 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XTreeGold application as the default for handling the XCL file.

Step 3. Update XTreeGold to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XTreeGold program, it is possible that XTree For Windows Script requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company) website and install the latest version.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XCL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XCL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XCL 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 XCL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XCL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company) help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XCL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XCL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XCL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
