You need Excel to open .xls files

Think you need to install Microsoft Office

As mentioned, that is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file. Try using MS Word Viewer if you don't have MS Office or OpenOffice. Also will need this > Compatibility pack

xml files can also be opened with Excel. Or use dreamweaver orany other application to read and construct xml files.

Try downloading Openoffice. Free open-source MS office alternative. Works really well, been using it for years. www.openoffice.org
