The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XVL 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 XVL Player

The first step is to check if the computer has the XVL Player program installed. This can be achieved by typing XVL Player into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of XVL Player with XVL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XVL file to open in the XVL Player 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XVL file with the XVL Player application.

Step 3. Update XVL Player to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XVL Player program, it is possible that EXtensible Virtual World Description Language Document requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Lattice Technology, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

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

The XVL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XVL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XVL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XVL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XVL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XVL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Lattice Technology, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XVL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XVL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XVL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
