Sources of SQLPROJ Problems

Troubles Opening SQLPROJ Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Removed

If you attempt to load your SQLPROJ file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SQLPROJ Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your SQLPROJ with Microsoft Visual Studio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your SQLPROJ file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Outdated Microsoft Visual Studio

In other instances, your Microsoft Visual Studio SQL Server Project 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 Microsoft Visual Studio SQL Server Project file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SQLPROJ file and clicking "Properties".

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