What is RSP file?
The file with the extension RSP is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Microsoft. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Linker Response Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Microsoft Visual Studio to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open RSP file?
An often recurring problem with Linker Response Format is that RSP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RSP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSP 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RSP files.
Programs to open RSP file
Remember to download programs supporting RSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with RSP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RSP 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Visual Studio application as the default for handling the RSP file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Linker Response Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 RSP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RSP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RSP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RSP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RSP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RSP file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RSP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RSP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RSP file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RSP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RSP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
