QL$ File Complications


Typical QL$ Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual Studio Disappeared

When trying to open your QL$ file, you get the error "Can't Open QL$ File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed for %%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: If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your QL$ file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Visual Studio isn't able to open your Microsoft Compressed QLB Data file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Visual Studio (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Most of the time your Microsoft Compressed QLB Data file was created by a newer Microsoft Visual Studio than what you have installed.


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


Regardless, most of the QL$ file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed.
