How to open XIG file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XIG 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 XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open XIG file
Remember to download programs supporting XIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator with XIG files
If, despite the installed application, the XIG file does not start in the XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XIG file with the XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator application.
Step 3. Update XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XML-XIG: XML Instance Generator program, it is possible that XML Instance Generator requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SourceForge.net website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XIG 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 XIG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 XIG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XIG files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XIG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XIG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XIG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XIG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
