If you attempt to load your BCS file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open BCS Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Batch Compiler for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


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


Wrong Version of Batch Compiler is Installed

In other instances, your Batch Compiler Specification File file version may not be supported by your version of Batch Compiler.
