Understanding JGC Issues
Frequent JGC Opening Issues
JGCGen Not Present
When you double-click your JGC file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that JGCGen is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your JGC with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another JGC application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
JGCGen is Out-of-Date
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a JGCGen Script file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of JGCGen. Most of the time your JGCGen Script file was created by a newer JGCGen than what you have installed.
Tip: Right-clicking on your JGC, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of JGC file opening issues are due to not having the correct JGCGen version installed.
Additional JGC Opening Issues
Although you might already have JGCGen or another JGC-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening JGCGen Script files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading JGC files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Windows Registry JGC file paths that are incorrect
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry JGC description
- Invalid installation of a JGC-associated program (eg. JGCGen)
- The JGC itself is corrupted
- The JGC is infected with a virus
- Hardware related to JGCs has device driver corruption
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your JGCGen Script file successfully
