SSC File Complications


Typical SSC Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual Studio Disappeared

When trying to open your SSC file, you get the error "Can't Open SSC File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your SSC because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: Another SSC-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio

Your SourceSafe Status File file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio because you might have the wrong version installed. 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 SourceSafe Status File file was created by a newer Microsoft Visual Studio than what you have installed.


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


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening SSC files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed.
