Microsoft Open Xml Converter Location

The Open XML File Format Converter lets you convert Open XML files that were created in Office 2008 for Mac or in 2007 Microsoft Office for Windows so that you can open, edit, and save the files in earlier versions of Office for Mac.

  1. Free XML to DOC converter from CoolUtils. Convert XML to DOC online without any fee or registration, get your DOC file in seconds. Other graphic elements and charts. Documents of such type are readable by MS Word, free Microsoft Word Viewer and many open source packages like LibreOffice. DOC files can be read and edited on Android OS.
  2. Starting with the 2007 Microsoft Office system, Microsoft Office uses the XML-based file formats, such as.docx,.xlsx, and.pptx. These formats and file name extensions apply to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint.

I have used the xsd.exe utility in Visual Studio 2003 and 2008 to generate typed datasets from a 3rd party XSD file. The third party has changed their schema so I need to regenerate the datasets but I can't find XSD.EXE.

The win8 search gives me information about the utility but not where it is, I tried a search in Windows explorer and didn't get any results.

I read posts regarding Win7/VS 2008 that say it is part of the WinSDK but I can't find it in that folder either.

Some poster say it now needs to be downloaded but from where. I am running 64 bit Windows 8 pro and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.

Once you have the SDK installed * (either Manually, or with Visual Studio), you'll find it in the following directories:

SDK 8 and later

There is an an additional FX version subdirectory:

Where

  • {ver} is the SDK version (e.g. v8.1A)
  • and {FXVer} is the applicable .Net Framework version, e.g. NETFX 4.0v

e.g.

SDK 7 and lower

Where {ver} is the SDK version (e.g. v7.0A)

On a 32 bit O/S, replace %programfiles(x86)% with %programfiles%

* Wikipedia maintains a fairly recent set of download links to the various SDK versions - scroll to the bottom of the table for recent ones.

This is part of the Windows SDK. I know that you can download the Windows 7 SDK for .NET 4.0 and the files will be installed and will be fully functional on Windows 8. (It is installed in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindows?version?binNETFX 4.0 Tools where version will be OS version like v8 or similar)

You may also find the xsd application as part of the full SDK.

Also if you are so inclined to use other works, at Codeplex there is a nice alternative to xsd.exe: http://xsd2code.codeplex.com/

If you have Visual Studio installed, then you may locate Developer Command Prompt (it is a shortcut in Start menu, or it should be available from VS IDE). A cmd window opens and you are able to run xsd.exe from it.

Add the following to your environment variable PATH:

C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv10.0AbinNETFX 4.7.2 Tools

  • Go to C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindows
  • Click latest version (e.g. v10.0A)
  • Click Bin
  • Select latest .NET Version e.g. NETFX 4.7.2 Tools

Run via command line using xsd /c filename.xsd
