Troubleshoot _SLN80 Files
Typical _SLN80 Opening Challenges
Microsoft Visual Studio is Not Installed
Double-clicking your _SLN80 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open _SLN80 File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your _SLN80 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your _SLN80, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Visual Studio
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Visual Studio File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Microsoft Visual Studio File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Visual Studio than what's installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your _SLN80 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of _SLN80 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading _SLN80 Files
