VDPROJ File Complications

Troubles Opening VDPROJ Files

Microsoft Visual Studio Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open VDPROJ Files" when trying to open your VDPROJ. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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: Another VDPROJ-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Outdated Microsoft Visual Studio

In other instances, your Visual Studio Setup And Deployment Project file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Visual Studio Setup And Deployment Project file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your VDPROJ file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening VDPROJ files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer.
