How to open VSCT file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Visual Studio Command Table Configuration is that VSCT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that VSCT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSCT 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VSCT with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file VSCT.
Programs to open VSCT file
Remember to download programs supporting VSCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with VSCT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VSCT file still does not use the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 VSCT file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Visual Studio with Microsoft Visual Studio Command Table Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSCT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the VSCT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VSCT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VSCT 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 VSCT files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VSCT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VSCT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the VSCT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VSCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VSCT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
