    right click and run the program as administrator should fix that hopefully

    ok I don't obviously know your setup - you mean you cannot just right click on the program icon and select 'run as administrator' - you only need do it once - it may fix, it may not

    No, I regularly get this error message too. My wokaround is just to drag the xar file to Xara's title bar. It opens fine then.
    Just another one of these long overlooked bugs

    be interesting to know what sort of files you need to do this for [and why] - it has never happened to me - still inclined to think it is an admin rights issue of some kind which varies from setup to setup, but good to know there is a fix
