Understanding INO Issues

Common INO Opening Problems

Microsoft Notepad Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open INO Files" when trying to open your INO. Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Notepad for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your INO with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Wrong Version of Microsoft Notepad is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Inno Setup Script file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Notepad (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. The primary cause of this problem is that your Inno Setup Script file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Notepad than what's installed.

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

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening INO files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Notepad installed.

Other Causes of INO File Opening Problems

You can still experience errors opening INO files even with the latest version of Microsoft Notepad installed on your PC. Other INO opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Corrupt install of Microsoft Notepad or other INO-related program
• Your INO can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Malware-tainted INO file can't be opened
