Background
Microsoft has discontinued support for the XPS file format without prior notice. Since this format has been used in our measurement software to display test and measurement reports, malfunctions may occur on Windows 10 systems following automatic Windows or .NET updates.
Since Microsoft did not inform us of this change in advance, we were unfortunately unable to adapt our software in time.
Possible Effects
The following problems, among others, may occur on affected systems:
- The measurement software does not start properly.
- Report generation fails.
- Reports are not displayed or are displayed incorrectly.
- Error messages appear referring to “ImageSource,” “Resources,” or “PNG.”
Recommended Action
To avoid these problems or resolve existing errors, we recommend running the XpsReportPatcher on all relevant systems.
Affected Systems
Please run the XpsReportPatcher on the following computers:
- All measuring machines running Windows 10
- All external workstations with WMC measurement software installed on Windows 10
