Hi,

Can you give us more details like the operating system and version of Oxygen you are using?
Also, can you try to make a clean installation to a different folder and run it from there?
It seems like either Oxygen uses an older version of the Xerces library or the used Xerces library is corrupted.

Regards,
Radu

I'll try your other suggestion.

I double clicked on author.exe and got these errors:

Hi,

Have you tried to re-download the kit from our web site?
You can find the Oxygen 10.3 installation kit in the software archive:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/software_archive.html

Well, it look slike my license is for version 11, but I had 10.3 installed and was using it just find up until the error above.

Now, when I try to install 10.3 and 11.2, I get an error that my license key is invalid license format: the current license applies for: [Author, Saxon-SA] and is not suitable for: [XML-Editor].

I've been using 10.3? With that license? I don't understand.

[adrian]

Hello,

Your license is for Oxygen XML Author so it will not work in Oxygen XML Editor.

So if you want Author 11.2 then download it from here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_author.html

The same for 10.3, in the software archive look for "Version 10.3: <oXygen/> XML Author": http://www.oxygenxml.com/software_archive.html

Let us know if the problem persists.

Regards,
Adrian
