VSSM Troubleshooting


Frequent VSSM Opening Issues

Microsoft Office Removed

If you attempt to load your VSSM file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VSSM Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Office is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your VSSM because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Outdated Microsoft Office

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Office isn't able to open your Microsoft Visio 2013 Macro-Enabled Stencil File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Office installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Visio 2013 Macro-Enabled Stencil File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Office than you have on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your VSSM file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the VSSM file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Office installed.


Other VSSM File Opening Causes

You can still experience errors opening VSSM files even with the latest version of Microsoft Office installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VSSM files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry VSSM file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the VSSM file inside the Windows Registry
  • Corrupt install of Microsoft Office or other VSSM-related program
  • Your VSSM can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your VSSM is infected with malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your VSSM file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Microsoft Visio 2013 Macro-Enabled Stencil File file successfully

Poll: How many different computer files (eg. documents, videos, audio) do you typically view or edit on a daily basis?
