How To Read Scan Logs For Previous Versions

coolcool1227

I want to read scan logs for previous versions of Bitdefender e.g 2011 in xml format, but when I open them it shows

"The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later."

I can read them by selecting View Source option, but I want to read them in xml format.

Bitdefender logs use a file called an xml stylesheet to display the xml file in a nice way to users.

Due to changing structure and information stored in logs between versions, the xml stylesheet file has to change itself.

Each Bitdefender version ships with it's own version of this file, compatible with it's own logs, and is removed when the product is uninstalled.

If you would like to view previous logs using the corresponding stylesheet file, you may do so by obtaining a copy of that file from an installed copy of the previous version of the product.

In order to find the location of the file, you may open the xml file in a text editor and note the path on the second line(starting with <?xml-stylesheet).

Once you have obtained the proper file, you may change this line to point to where you saved the old file, then save and open the xml as usual.
