Notes about the XPS file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The XPS file type is primarily associated with 'XML Paper Specification' by Microsoft Corporation.

The XML Paper Specification (XPS), formerly codenamed Metro and subsuming the Next Generation Print Path (NGPP) marketing concept, is Microsoft's initiative to integrate document creation and viewing into its Windows operating system.

XPS is shipped with Microsoft's Windows Vista. The file format is basically a Zipped XML file.

In both XP and Vista if you look in the Control Panel Printers you should find an XPS Printer pre-installed. To create these files you only need to use that printer for the output device. In Vista you should be able to just double click the file to open it in a viewer (this function uses IE 7 code and may not be configured automatically). Microsoft has a viewer XP users can download.

Cannot access XPS files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open XPS files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
