How to open FSSCRIPT file?

An often recurring problem with Visual F# Script is that FSSCRIPT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FSSCRIPT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FSSCRIPT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FSSCRIPT with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support FSSCRIPT files.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with FSSCRIPT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FSSCRIPT file still does not use the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FSSCRIPT file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Studio program with the Visual F# Script file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSSCRIPT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FSSCRIPT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FSSCRIPT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FSSCRIPT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FSSCRIPT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FSSCRIPT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FSSCRIPT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FSSCRIPT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FSSCRIPT file again. However, some background programs may block the FSSCRIPT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
