Error loading XML


Question

I have been using Arcsoft Photoimpression 6 for many years. I got it on a disc with an old printer I bought years ago, but it is very simple and I love it. Anyway the past few months when I click on the icon on the desktop to open the program I get  ERROR LOADING XML.  Then underneath that I get the following.  Error oxccoce502 on line 1, position 26.  Reason:  A string lateral was expected, but no opening quote character was found.   If I click on OK, the program does open, but I have had issues with it. The program is  on my main computer running Windows 10., but I also installed it on two other computers at home here, also running Windows 10. and it runs great. I never get that message when opening the program on those two other computers. I have tried removing the program from my computer, and then running CCleaner to remove all traces of the program, and then I reinstalled. I have done this at least four times, and I continue to get the same error message. I have tried using the Photo program that is included with Windows 10. I even have a copy of Paint Shop Pro, but that is way to complex for me. Photo Impression 6 has been discontinued many years ago, so I can't even buy another disc. But Like I said earlier, I have a disc with the program on from when I bought an Epson printer many years ago. Any suggestions ??  I really like that program. Now I find myself copying the pictures I want to edit or print to one of the other computers so I can use Photo Impression 6, but that is stupid. Arcsoft replaced Photo Impression 6 with another program. I downloaded a trial version of it, but do not like it. Suggestions please.  Thanks,  Mike

Are there any config.xml or settings.xml type files inside the applications directory structure? If so, pop them open with Notepad++, and using the XML Tools plug-in for N++ run the "Check XML syntax now" feature. It'll throw up any formatting issues (non-terminated comments are the usual kind of thing to trip apps up) 

 

The top of every .XML file should also have something like 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 

If there aren't any config files in the directory or sub-directories of your application, then they might be in the Windows folders. You can use something like this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 to see what files are being accessed when the application loads.

    • Court orders Apple to keep web links in the App Store, eroding its iOS payment monopoly by Fiza Ali Apple has been ordered to continue permitting web links and external payment options in the App Store after its bid to halt court’s ruling was declined today by a higher court. Earlier this year, in April, a federal judge decreed that Apple must allow developers to include web links in their iOS apps, remove restrictions on link formatting, and enable external payment methods without taking a commission on transactions. Apple immediately appealed and sought an injunction to delay implementation of the order while the case progressed. However, the United States Court of Appeals has now refused Apple’s emergency request to stay the district court’s order. In its decision, the panel held that Apple had not demonstrated a sufficient likelihood of success on appeal, nor that it would suffer irreparable harm if the order were enforced. The court also considered potential prejudice to other parties and the public interest, concluding that an immediate suspension was not warranted. This ruling makes it much harder for Apple to overturn the April decision, which came from a lawsuit initiated by Epic Games. Epic first sued Apple’s App Store policies in 2020, claiming that the company’s restrictions harmed competition. While Epic did not prevail on every count, the court did rule that Apple must allow developers to inform users of alternative purchasing options at better prices. Despite that narrow victory, Apple repeatedly failed to conform to the terms from the original 2021 ruling, prompting the judge in April to issue a more detailed order outlining precisely how the App Store must be “opened up”. In response to the April ruling, prominent third-party apps have swiftly implemented web-based purchasing links. Both Spotify and Amazon’s Kindle app now include buttons directing users to purchase subscriptions via their websites, bypassing Apple’s in-app payments. Additionally, Fortnite has made a comeback on iOS after around five years, presenting users with the choice between Apple’s in-app payment system and Epic’s own payment and rewards mechanism. According to Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, there is presently a 60:40 split in usage favouring Apple’s system over Epic’s, though the gap appears to be narrowing. An Apple spokesperson, Olivia Dalton, issued a statement expressing the company’s disappointment: For now, Apple must comply with the existing injunction. Unless the Appeals Court later overturns the ruling, developers can continue to include web payment links, and Apple’s longstanding monopoly over iOS payment processing may continue to erode. The ultimate resolution will depend on the outcome of the ongoing appeals, which could set a significant precedent for how app marketplaces operate in the future. Source: The Verge
