Troubleshooting Problems Opening VSK Files


Common VSK Opening Problems

Visual Studio IDE Disappeared

If you attempt to load your VSK file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VSK Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Visual Studio IDE installed for %%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: When another VSK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Wrong Version of Visual Studio IDE is Installed

It is possible that your version of Visual Studio IDE isn't able to open your Microsoft Development Common IDE File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Visual Studio IDE installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Microsoft Development Common IDE File file was created by a newer Visual Studio IDE than what you have installed.


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


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