Troubleshooting Problems Opening VSDX Files


Common Problems Opening VSDX Files

Apache OpenOffice Not Present

If you attempt to load your VSDX file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VSDX Files". Customarily, this means that Apache OpenOffice is not installed on %%os%%. 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 VSDX-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated Apache OpenOffice

Your Visio Drawing file is incompatible with Apache OpenOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Apache Software Foundation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Apache OpenOffice. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening VSDX files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other Causes of VSDX File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of Apache OpenOffice installed, you can still experience difficulties opening VSDXs. If you're still experiencing problems opening VSDX files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • Windows Registry VSDX file paths that are incorrect
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the VSDX file in the Windows registry
  • Partial installation of Apache OpenOffice that did not fully complete
  • The VSDX itself is corrupted
  • Malware-tainted VSDX file can't be opened
  • VSDX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Visio Drawing file
