SCI File Complications


Troubles Opening SCI Files

Scilab Not Present

You attempt to load your SCI file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SCI File Extension". Customarily, this means that Scilab is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another SCI-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Scilab Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Scilab Script file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Scilab if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Scilab Script file was created by a newer Scilab than what you have installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SCI file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening SCI files are due to having the incorrect version of Scilab installed on your computer.


Other SCI File Issues

Assuming you have the right Scilab version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening SCI files. Other SCI opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

  • Windows Registry SCI file paths that are incorrect
  • Corruption of the SCI file description inside the Registry
  • Invalid installation of a SCI-associated program (eg. Scilab)
  • SCI file corruption
  • The SCI is infected with a virus
  • SCI-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Scilab Script format
