MSH Troubleshooting


Troubles Opening MSH Files

Orbiter Disappeared

Double-clicking your MSH file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open MSH File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Orbiter missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your MSH file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another MSH application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Obsolete Version of Orbiter

It is possible that your version of Orbiter isn't able to open your Orbiter 3D Mesh File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Orbiter if you don't have the right version. Your Orbiter 3D Mesh File file was probably created by a newer release of Orbiter than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your MSH file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the MSH file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Orbiter installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading MSH Files

Although you might already have Orbiter or another MSH-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Orbiter 3D Mesh File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening MSH files. These issues include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for MSH
  • Corruption of the MSH file description inside the Registry
  • Corrupt install of Orbiter or other MSH-related program
  • MSH file corruption
  • MSH file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with MSH has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Orbiter 3D Mesh File file
