PSSC Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening PSSC Files

Microsoft Windows Isn't There

When you double-click your PSSC file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Windows installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your PSSC because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your PSSC file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Microsoft Windows is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your Windows PowerShell Session Configuration File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a Windows PowerShell Session Configuration File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your PSSC file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Windows version on your computer can cause problems opening PSSC files.
