Troubleshoot JSONLD Files
Typical JSONLD Opening Challenges
Microsoft Visual Studio Removed
Double-clicking your JSONLD file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open JSONLD File". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the JSONLD file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens JSONLD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version
Your Microsoft Visual Studio Data File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio if you don't have the right version. Your Microsoft Visual Studio Data File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Right-clicking on your JSONLD, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Visual Studio version on your computer can cause problems opening JSONLD files.
Other Causes of JSONLD File Opening Problems
You can still experience errors opening JSONLD files even with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening JSONLDs. Problems unrelated to software:
- JSONLD file type Registry entries are wrong
- The JSONLD file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of Microsoft Visual Studio that did not fully complete
- JSONLD file corruption
- Your JSONLD has adversely impacted by malware
- Hardware related to JSONLDs has device driver corruption
- Windows cannot load your Microsoft Visual Studio Data File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
