File extension .WSP
Full Name | Developer | Category |
---|---|---|
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Solution Framework Format | Microsoft | Developer Files |
The WSP file extension is used for SharePoint Solution Packages, a file format used by Microsoft SharePoint. WSP files are used to store customizations, like created resources such as Web Parts, Site Definitions and compiled code by users. This allows these customizations to be installed to SharePoint sites as part of overall solutions. The file packages contain text-based XML and other files encapsulated in zip archives.
Compatibility
WSP files can only be opened using Microsoft's SharePoint Server or SharePoint Designer, although they may be able to be opened on any platform that the application has compatible versions on. There are other similar file extensions such as.SPPKG and.APPX which serve similar purposes.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WSP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .WSP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .WSP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .WSP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .WSP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WSP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WSP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .WSP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WSP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WSP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
