Troubleshooting Problems Opening VSPSCC Files

Typical VSPSCC Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual Studio is Not Installed

When you double-click your VSPSCC file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your VSPSCC with Microsoft Visual Studio, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens VSPSCC files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version

In other instances, your Visual Studio Project Source Control Data file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Visual Studio. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Visual Studio Project Source Control Data file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your VSPSCC, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

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

Other VSPSCC File Opening Causes

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed, you can still experience difficulties opening VSPSCCs. Other VSPSCC opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Invalid VSPSCC file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Unintentional removal of the description of the VSPSCC file inside the Windows Registry
• Microsoft Visual Studio or another VSPSCC application experienced a flawed installation
• VSPSCC file corruption
• Your VSPSCC has adversely impacted by malware
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your VSPSCC file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Visual Studio Project Source Control Data files
