Troubleshoot PRP Files

Typical PRP Opening Challenges

IBM Rational Rose development software is Not Installed

Double-clicking your PRP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open PRP File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have IBM Rational Rose development software for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your PRP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens PRP files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

IBM Rational Rose development software Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of IBM Rational Rose development software won't support your Rational Model Properties File file. Visit the IBM website to download (or purchase) the latest version of IBM Rational Rose development software. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of PRP file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Regardless, most of the PRP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of IBM Rational Rose development software installed.
