PLB File Complications


Frequent PLB Opening Issues

Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio Isn't There

You attempt to load your PLB file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PLB File Extension". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PLB file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens PLB files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Outdated Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio won't support your Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio Playback Data file. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. 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 PLB file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening PLB files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening PLBs

Although you might already have Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio or another PLB-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio Playback Data files. Other PLB opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry PLB file paths that are incorrect
  • The PLB file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio that did not fully complete
  • PLB file corruption
  • Your PLB has adversely impacted by malware
  • Drivers associated with PLB software need to be updated
