Couldn’t find the ACES.dtd file

If you get an error that says AceViewer couldn’t find the ACES.dtd file, it is most likely because the xml file includes a !DOCTYPE command at the beginning of the file (usually as the second record after the ?xml line) and so our xml parser is looking for that dtd file.

You have two choices, (1) remove the !DOCTYPE line, or (2) copy the attached aces.dtd to the same directory where the xml file is located. The command would look like this:

<!DOCTYPE ACES SYSTEM "aces.dtd">

Watch out, because they could have included a path as well:

<!DOCTYPE ACES SYSTEM "c:\temp\aces.dtd">

In that case, you’d need to put the file in that location.
