# Validate UE-V Settings Location Templates with UE-V Generator


It is possible to create or edit settings locations templates in an XML editor without using the UE-V Generator. If you do so, you can use the UE-V Generator to validate that the new or revised XML matches the schema that has been defined for the template.

**To validate a UE-V settings location template with the UE-V Generator**

1.  Click **Start**, and then point to **All Programs**. Point to **Microsoft User Experience Virtualization**, and then click **Microsoft User Experience Virtualization Generator**.

2.  Click **Validate a settings location template**.

3.  In the list of recently used templates, select the template to be edited. Alternatively, you can **Browse** to the settings template file. Click **Next** to continue.

4.  Click **Validate** to continue.

5.  Click **Close** to close the Settings Template Wizard. Exit the UE-V Generator application.

    After you validate the settings location template for an application, you should test the template. Deploy the template in a lab environment before you put it into production in the enterprise.
