XMSS file extension
The XMSS file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the XMSS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the XMSS file on each system platform.
What is XMSS file?
The file in the XMSS format belongs to the Developer Files category. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. FileMaker Script Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is FileMaker Pro. This was created by FileMaker, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs.
How to open XMSS file?
The main problem with FileMaker Script Format is that the XMSS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open XMSS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMSS 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 FileMaker Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileMaker Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FileMaker Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XMSS with FileMaker Pro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XMSS files.
Programs to open XMSS file
Remember to download programs supporting XMSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with XMSS files
If, despite the installed application, the XMSS file does not start in the FileMaker Pro 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FileMaker Pro application as the default for handling the XMSS file.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Script Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FileMaker, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMSS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XMSS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XMSS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XMSS 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 XMSS 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XMSS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMSS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XMSS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMSS 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
