Troubleshoot AVS Files


Issues Opening AVS Files

Adobe Photoshop Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open AVS Files" when trying to open your AVS. Customarily, this means that Adobe Photoshop is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your AVS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another AVS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Adobe Photoshop is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Adobe Photoshop installed that's incompatible with your Adobe Photoshop Variations File type. You will need to download a newer version of Adobe Photoshop if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a Adobe Photoshop Variations File file version that was created by a newer version of Adobe Photoshop than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your AVS, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Adobe Photoshop version on your computer can cause problems opening AVS files.


Associated Difficulties Loading AVS Files

Although you might already have Adobe Photoshop or another AVS-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Adobe Photoshop Variations File files. If you're still experiencing problems opening AVS files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:

  • AVS file type Registry entries are wrong

  • Adobe Photoshop or another AVS application experienced a flawed installation
  • The AVS itself is corrupted
