Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with WDPROJ files
If, despite the installed application, the WDPROJ file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDPROJ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The WDPROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WDPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WDPROJ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WDPROJ 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 WDPROJ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WDPROJ 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 WDPROJ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WDPROJ 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WDPROJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDPROJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
