Understanding FSSCRIPT Issues
Troubles Opening FSSCRIPT Files
Microsoft Notepad Isn't There
Double-clicking your FSSCRIPT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open FSSCRIPT File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Notepad isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your FSSCRIPT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Notepad installed, and you know of another program to open your FSSCRIPT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad
Your Visual F# Script File file is incompatible with Microsoft Notepad because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft Notepad version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Visual F# Script File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Notepad than what's installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of FSSCRIPT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening FSSCRIPT files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Notepad installed.
More Causes of Problems Opening FSSCRIPTs
You can still experience errors opening FSSCRIPT files even with the latest version of Microsoft Notepad installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening FSSCRIPTs. Additional factors include:
- FSSCRIPT file type Registry entries are wrong
- Deletion of the FSSCRIPT file description from the Registry by mistake
- Microsoft Notepad or another FSSCRIPT application experienced a flawed installation
- FSSCRIPT file corruption
- Your FSSCRIPT has adversely impacted by malware
- Drivers associated with FSSCRIPT software need to be updated
