VHDL File Complications


Troubles Opening VHDL Files

Microsoft Notepad Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open VHDL Files" when trying to open your VHDL. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Notepad isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your VHDL with Microsoft Notepad, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your VHDL, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Microsoft Notepad is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your VHDL Source File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Notepad. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Notepad. The primary cause of this problem is that your VHDL Source File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Notepad than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the VHDL file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Conclusion: The majority of VHDL file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Notepad version installed.
