ESH File Complications

Common ESH Opening Problems

MS-DOS is Not Installed

You attempt to load your ESH file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ESH File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to MS-DOS missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the ESH file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

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

Obsolete Version of MS-DOS

Sometimes your installed version of MS-DOS won't support your Extended Shell Batch File file. If you've got the wrong version of MS-DOS installed, you'll need to install the correct 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your ESH file and clicking "Properties".

Conclusion: The majority of ESH file opening issues are due to not having the correct MS-DOS version installed.
