Sources of IJS Problems
Common Problems Opening IJS Files
J language Isn't There
You attempt to load your IJS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The IJS File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have J language installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your IJS with J language, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your IJS, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Outdated J language
In other instances, your J Interpretor Script file version may not be supported by your version of J language. Installing the latest version of J language from Open Source is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your J Interpretor Script file was created by a newer version of J language than you have on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your IJS file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: Not having the right J language version on your computer can cause problems opening IJS files.
Other Causes of IJS File Opening Problems
Even with the correct version of J language installed, you can still experience difficulties opening IJSs. If you're still experiencing problems opening IJS files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:
- IJS file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Deletion of the IJS file description from the Registry by mistake
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the IJS format
- IJS file corruption
- IJS file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Hardware related to IJSs has device driver corruption
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your J Interpretor Script file
