Troubleshooting Problems Opening SAC Files
Common Problems Opening SAC Files
Missing Unknown Software
When trying to open your SAC file, you get the error "Can't Open SAC File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Unknown Software isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SAC file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens SAC files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect Unknown Software Version
In other instances, your Shared Asset Catalog File file version may not be supported by your version of Unknown Software. Installing the latest version of Unknown Software from Unknown Developer is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Shared Asset Catalog File file was created by a different (newer) version of Unknown Software than what's installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of SAC file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of SAC file opening issues are due to not having the correct Unknown Software version installed.

- Defective install of a SAC program, such as Unknown Software
- The SAC itself is corrupted
