Sources of _SLN90 Problems
Frequent _SLN90 Opening Issues
Microsoft Visual Studio is Not Installed
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open _SLN90 Files" when trying to open your _SLN90. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Visual Studio isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the _SLN90 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your _SLN90 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "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. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Visual Studio File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Visual Studio than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your _SLN90, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of _SLN90 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Visual Studio version installed.
