Troubleshoot BUTTHEREIS Files
Common BUTTHEREIS Opening Problems
Unknown Software Isn't There
Double-clicking your BUTTHEREIS file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open BUTTHEREIS File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Unknown Software installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the BUTTHEREIS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you don't have Unknown Software installed, and you know of another program to open your BUTTHEREIS file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Incorrect Unknown Software Version
It is possible that your version of Unknown Software isn't able to open your Unknown File Type file due to incompatibility. Visit the Unknown Developer website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Unknown Software. The primary cause of this problem is that your Unknown File Type 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 BUTTHEREIS file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of BUTTHEREIS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Unknown Software version installed.
