Installation

The XML Editor can only be run on Windows systems and requires that the .net framework version 3.5 SP1 or newer has already been installed on the computer. In addition, the YADE Xml2Ini Converter plugin for use with releases of YADE up to and including 1.10 requires Java version 1.8 or newer.

The XML Editor does not come with an installer - the .zip can be unpacked into any folder on a file system.

The XML Editor is opened by starting the sos.xml.editor.exe binary.
