Understanding WSDL Issues


Common WSDL Opening Problems

Missing Microsoft Visual Studio

When trying to open your WSDL file, you get the error "Can't Open WSDL File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Visual Studio missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WSDL file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens WSDL files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Installed

Your Web Services Description Language File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of WSDL file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Conclusion: The majority of WSDL file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening WSDLs

Errors opening Web Services Description Language File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Visual Studio software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading WSDL files, other external issues might be to blame. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for WSDL are wrong
  • Deletion of the WSDL file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Visual Studio that did not fully complete
  • The WSDL itself is corrupted
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your WSDL
  • Hardware related to WSDLs has device driver corruption
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Web Services Description Language File file
