Failed to read XAR file

[Mayflowers]

Hi,

Have a look at this forum post and run your file through Expandxar:

Thanks
Rob

I read that post, but i don't understand this part:

Change directory to the correct folder, for example cd C:\MyXarFiles (cd is the command to change the directory to the folder (path name) where your corrupt file is languishing.

Run the utility by keying in: expandxar mybadfile.xar output.xar

If an output file is generated (output.xar in the above case) then try loading it into Xtreme, ignoring warnings about unrecognized tags.
If it loads and you want to keep the recovered data then re-save the document where ever you like. Click here to download the ZIPped archive expander.xar (69K).

Update: This also works with Web Designer .web files by keying in: expandxar mybadfile.web output.web

I tried to run utility, but it didn't show anything to me. I think I am doing something wrong....

Have you tried looking in your backup folder? In Xara go to File / Open Recent / Then at the bottom of the fly-out is Backups. Click that, it opens Xara's backup folder and you should have a copy of you file in there. It may not be totally up to date but worth a try.

Everything is there except last page, but that’s fine. Thanks a million!
