Sources of MSH2 Problems
Common MSH2 Opening Problems
Microsoft Windows Shell Disappeared
If you attempt to load your MSH2 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open MSH2 Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows Shell 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 have another software that you know opens MSH2 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Microsoft Windows Shell is Out-of-Date
It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows Shell isn't able to open your Microsoft Shell Script File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows Shell from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Most of the time your Microsoft Shell Script File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows Shell than what you have installed.
Tip: Investigate your MSH2 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Windows Shell version on your computer can cause problems opening MSH2 files.
Other MSH2 File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of Microsoft Windows Shell installed, you can still experience difficulties opening MSH2s. Other MSH2 opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:
- MSH2 file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Deletion of the MSH2 file description from the Registry by mistake
- Microsoft Windows Shell or another MSH2 application experienced a flawed installation
- MSH2 file corruption
- Malware-tainted MSH2 file can't be opened
- MSH2-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Microsoft Shell Script File files
