| | I am having problems using the vista xps viewer Hello, I am having problems using the vista xps viewer. I have dot net 3. and viewer turned on. just like this: To find out if you have .NET Framework 3.0 1. Click the Start button , click Control Panel, and then click Programs. 2. Under Programs and Features, click Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 3. Look for .NET Framework 3.0 in the list of features. If it's listed, double-click the folder to view its contents. 4. In the .NET Framework 3.0 folder, make sure that the XPS Viewer check box is selected, and then click OK. I have also tried to create a shortcut like this C:\Windows\System32\XPSViewer\XPSViewer.exe %1 and drag the xps file on it. But nothing happens. I do not even see the process starting in the task manager also I do see the XPSViewer.exe file in that directory. any ideas? thanks |
