KVS File Complications

Troubles Opening KVS Files

KVIrc Removed

Double-clicking your KVS file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open KVS File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have KVIrc for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your KVS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your KVS, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Incorrect KVIrc Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of KVIrc installed that's incompatible with your KVIrc Script type. Download the latest KVIrc version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your KVIrc Script file was created by a newer KVIrc than what you have installed.

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

Summary: Not having the right KVIrc version on your computer can cause problems opening KVS files.
