VSSSCC Troubleshooting
Typical VSSSCC Opening Challenges
Microsoft Visual Studio Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open VSSSCC Files" when trying to open your VSSSCC.

Tip: Another VSSSCC-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
