How to open XS4 file?
The most common problem when using XESS Worksheet is that a specific XS4 is not associated with the program. This causes the file XS4 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 XS4 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 XESS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XESS is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XESS in it.

Programs to open XS4 file
Remember to download programs supporting XS4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XESS with XS4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XS4 file still does not use the XESS program, it means no 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XS4 file with the XESS program.
Step 3. Update XESS to the latest version
If, however, after binding XESS with XESS Worksheet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the AIS website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XS4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XS4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XS4 file. However, remember that not every infected XS4 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 XS4 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 option of recovering data from damaged XS4 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AIS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XS4 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XS4 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 XS4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
