What are Pendulum.xml Error Messages?

Pendulum.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Captivate, but can also occur while the program is running.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Pendulum.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory.

An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
