Sources of BSC Problems

Typical BSC Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual Studio Disappeared

When trying to open your BSC file, you get the error "Can't Open BSC File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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 BSC files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Visual Studio won't support your Visual Studio Source Browser Information File file. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio if you don't have the right 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: Right-clicking on your BSC, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening BSC files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer.

Other BSC File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Visual Studio version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening BSC files. Other BSC opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for BSC
• Unintentional removal of the description of the BSC file inside the Windows Registry
• Microsoft Visual Studio or another BSC application experienced a flawed installation
• The BSC itself is corrupted
• BSC file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Hardware related to BSCs has device driver corruption
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Visual Studio Source Browser Information File file
