Wrong Application Error

When uploading a project file, a Wrong Application error displays and you are not able to submit your project.

TroubleshootingInstructor HelpMindTap

This happens if you use an application other than the required version of Microsoft Office to work on your project file. MindTap rejects project files created by applications such as:

  • Office 2008 for Macintosh
  • WordPad for Windows
  • Any version of the full Office 2007 suite
  • Third-party applications that support Office file formats, such as Google Docs or Google Sheets

You can save project files to your Google Drive, but opening a file with Google Docs or Google Sheets will cause it to be rejected when you upload your project.

Resolution

If you used a tool other than the required version of Microsoft Office, open your project using the correct Office application and save it again.
