How to open VSSSCC file?

The main problem with Visual Studio Solution Source Control Format is that the VSSSCC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VSSSCC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSSSCC 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. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Visual Studio into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support VSSSCC files.

Programs to open VSSSCC file

Remember to download programs supporting VSSSCC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

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

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VSSSCC file to open in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Visual Studio application as the default for handling the VSSSCC file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Studio program with the Visual Studio Solution Source Control Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 VSSSCC 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 VSSSCC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VSSSCC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 VSSSCC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VSSSCC 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 VSSSCC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VSSSCC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VSSSCC 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. Copying the VSSSCC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VSSSCC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
