Troubleshooting Problems Opening ORDEREDTEST Files
Frequent ORDEREDTEST Opening Issues
Missing Microsoft Visual Studio
When you double-click your ORDEREDTEST file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed on %%os%%. 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: Another ORDEREDTEST-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio
In other instances, your Visual Studio Ordered Test File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Your Visual Studio Ordered Test File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Investigate your ORDEREDTEST file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Visual Studio version on your computer can cause problems opening ORDEREDTEST files.
Other ORDEREDTEST File Issues
You can still experience errors opening ORDEREDTEST files even with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening ORDEREDTEST files. Problems unrelated to software:
- ORDEREDTEST file type Registry entries are wrong
- Deletion of the ORDEREDTEST file description from the Registry by mistake
- Defective install of a ORDEREDTEST program, such as Microsoft Visual Studio
- Your ORDEREDTEST file is corrupted (issues with your Visual Studio Ordered Test File file itself)
- ORDEREDTEST file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers for ORDEREDTEST-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Visual Studio Ordered Test File format
