cannot open an idml file - error message - plug-in may be missing

I am running Adobe CS 2015 - I have been provided a idml file - saved from CS 2017.

the error message states: Cannot open ..... Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file is open in another application.

the only error that makes any sense is the plug-in error.

has anyone encountered this problem / have a solution?

Hi,

Is it an idml for sure? Can you please mail me the idml at amaarora@adobe.com so that I can look into the issue?

Does this InDesign file link to another InDesign file placed in it?

Why don’t you just install CC2017?

Maybe the file is corrupt. Can the person who created it open the file? Is InDesign CC15 updated? If yes, then reset your preferences and try again.
