Troubles Opening _VWDXSLN80 Files
Microsoft Visual Studio is Not Installed
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open _VWDXSLN80 Files" when trying to open your _VWDXSLN80. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Visual Studio isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When another _VWDXSLN80 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect Microsoft Visual Studio Version
It is possible that your version of Microsoft Visual Studio isn't able to open your Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Microsoft Visual Studio version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: If you right-click on your _VWDXSLN80 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Visual Studio version on your computer can cause problems opening _VWDXSLN80 files.
