Issues Opening MSC Files

Microsoft Visual C++ Not Present

If you attempt to load your MSC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open MSC Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Visual C++ isn't installed on your PC. 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 know of another program that can open your MSC file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Wrong Version of Microsoft Visual C++ is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft C Makefile file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ if you don't have the right version. Your Microsoft C Makefile file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual C++ than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the MSC file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Visual C++ version on your computer can cause problems opening MSC files.

Other MSC File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Visual C++ will resolve your issue. If you are still having problems opening MSC files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for MSC are wrong
• The MSC file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the MSC format
• The MSC itself is corrupted
• Malware-tainted MSC file can't be opened
• Drivers associated with MSC software need to be updated
• Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Microsoft C Makefile file
