If VST file does not open, firstly, it is worth using files associations built in the Windows system with application that can support them. In order to do it, you should double-click a VST file icon. A list of programs that probably support such a file will appear. It is enough to choose one of them so that Windows would open a given extension with it. Incorrect file’s association will result in Windows trying to open VST file with a wrong program all the time even if there is an appropriate application supporting this format on a drive. In this case, it is necessary to perform the above mentioned registry scanning and associations’ repair.
If associations are correct and Windows still cannot open the file, most probably the computer does not have appropriate software supporting files with name containing VST in their extension. The solution to this problem is very simple. You should buy or download a free (if they exist) application that will allow you to open, browse and edit VST format (You can also try to find more informations on FileInfo). It is no risk because many paid programs have free test versions enabling to check their functionality.
