VCH Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening VCH Files

The Master Genealogist Not Present

When trying to open your VCH file, you get the error "Can't Open VCH File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have The Master Genealogist for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your VCH with The Master Genealogist, so double-clicking the file won't work.

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

The Master Genealogist Requires Update

Your Master Genealogist Genealogy Chart file is incompatible with The Master Genealogist because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Wholly Genes, Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of The Master Genealogist. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

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

Regardless, most of the VCH file opening problems relate to not having the right version of The Master Genealogist installed.
