DIAGPKG Troubleshooting
Common DIAGPKG Opening Problems
Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool Disappeared
If you attempt to load your DIAGPKG file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DIAGPKG Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool 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 don't have Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool installed, and you know of another program to open your DIAGPKG file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Incorrect Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool Version
Your Troubleshooting Pack File file is incompatible with Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Troubleshooting Pack File file was created by a newer Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool than what you have installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your DIAGPKG file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening DIAGPKG files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
