Is there any open source Microsoft Project MPP viewer?

Question

We know that .mpp file extension is a proprietary file format. But, Is there any open source viewer which work with these kind of files?

Have you tried [openproj](http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/) — Achu, Feb 07 '12 at 20:19

Project Libre has superseded OpenProj and claims Project 2010 compatibility.

http://www.projectlibre.org/ is the homepage

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenProj#Fork_-_ProjectLibre gives some history on how OpenProj forked to give rise to Project Libre.

Works on linux (checked the rpm version). Versions for MAC and Windows are also available (java, should be cross platform). – Doncho Gunchev Mar 20 '14 at 13:17
You can download a Debian package for easy installation by surfing to https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/files/ProjectLibre/, and then clicking on the version. – colan Oct 12 '17 at 16:16

MPP Viewer is windows only (.net 4.5 or something like that). – Doncho Gunchev Mar 20 '14 at 13:16

OpenProj does work. You'll be able to print an MPP file to a printer or PDF from there. For unconfidential project files you may also find the online converter sites useful.

I do not think there is an open source viewer on the market. But if you need a viewer to open all versions, you can try the Light version of MOOS Project Viewer. This one is free but limited in functionality. The full version has more features.

You can use Project Viewer or MOOS Project Viewer. Both based on Java so it support multi-platform.
