The .XER file extension is associated with Primavera Project Planner, a professional project and portfolio management software developed by Primavera Systems Inc. It is used to store data for a Primavera project in a standard format that can be accessed by many versions of the software, which makes the sharing and exchange of data among users easy and straightforward.
Technical Details:
The .XER Archive file format is based on an XML document type definition (DTD) that stores project information as name/value pairs within the tags. The stored information can include information about resources, cost items, activities, calendars, relationships, etc. The file extension also supports binary objects which can include reports, graphics, activity codes and custom fields.

The .XER format is widely used in civil engineering projects, such as roadway and bridge construction. For these projects, there can be multiple teams working together to complete components such as bridge abutments or culverts. Using Primavera Project Planner, each team can access a single XER document in order to collaborate on designs in real time. This eliminates the need to ship data back and forth via email or other methods that are slow and often inaccurate. Additionally, the XER file format allows users to compare project timescales and identify potential conflicts early on in the process.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XER) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .XER extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .XER file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .XER extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .XER extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XER file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XER file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .XER file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XER file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .XER file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
