VBP Troubleshooting


Issues Opening VBP Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Isn't There

When trying to open your VBP file, you get the error "Can't Open VBP File Type". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your VBP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio

In other instances, your Visual Basic Project File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Visual Basic Project File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your VBP, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


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


Associated Difficulties Loading VBP Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Visual Studio will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VBP files. Other contributing causes:

  • VBP file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the VBP file in the Windows registry
  • Corrupt install of Microsoft Visual Studio or other VBP-related program
  • The VBP itself is corrupted
  • The VBP is infected with a virus
  • Drivers associated with VBP software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Visual Basic Project File file successfully
