Troubleshooting Problems Opening CSIG Files

Typical CSIG Opening Challenges

SCons Disappeared

When trying to open your CSIG file, you get the error "Can't Open CSIG File Type". Customarily, this means that SCons is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the CSIG file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you don't have SCons installed, and you know of another program to open your CSIG file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

SCons Requires Update

Your SCons Content Signature file is incompatible with SCons because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of SCons if you don't have the right version. Your SCons Content Signature file was probably created by a newer release of SCons than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of CSIG file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Regardless, most of the CSIG file opening problems relate to not having the right version of SCons installed.
