VCP File Complications


Common VCP Opening Problems

Microsoft Visual C++ Not Present

You attempt to load your VCP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The VCP File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual C++ is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your VCP file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Incorrect Microsoft Visual C++ Version

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Visual C++ isn't able to open your eMbedded Visual C++ Project File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your eMbedded Visual C++ Project File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual C++ than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your VCP file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Regardless, most of the VCP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual C++ installed.


Other VCP File Opening Causes

Errors opening eMbedded Visual C++ Project File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Visual C++ software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VCP files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry VCP file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry VCP description
  • Microsoft Visual C++ or another VCP application experienced a flawed installation
  • The VCP itself is corrupted
  • Malware-tainted VCP file can't be opened
  • Device drivers for VCP-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open eMbedded Visual C++ Project File files
