Common Problems Opening VUP Files

Missing Microsoft Visual Studio

If you attempt to load your VUP file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VUP Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Visual Studio missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your VUP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Outdated Microsoft Visual Studio
