When I try to import a project, I get the error message
@RISK's Project commands require a copy of Microsoft Project. This is not available on this system.
But I do have Project installed!
Please double-click an .MPP file. Does it open in Microsoft Project? If not, right-click the file, select Open with » Choose default program, and browse to Microsoft Project (program name: Winproj).
If an .MPP file opens in Project when you double-click it, verify that you have Microsoft Project installed on this computer, as opposed to a network share. Also, deployment of Microsoft Office as Web Apps, On Demand, or some varieties of Office 365 and Click-to-Run may be a problem. See Click-to-Run and Office 365 with Palisade Software for more information.
Verify that your version of Project is compatible with your version of @RISK. Please see Windows and Office Versions Supported by Palisade.
If all of the above check out correctly, it's possible that somehow the connection between @RISK and Project has been broken. You can re-establish it by using the technique in Which Version of Project is Opened by @RISK?
