Playing SC2 Replays with double click

Question

When I double-click on an SC2replay file in brings up SC2 but then nothing happens. How can I get it to play the replay?

I am trying with a replay that's relatively recent... from April.

I'm on Windows 7 x64.

EDIT: It does not give any sort of error message as far as I can tell.

Answer

It may be that the replay is from a previous patch, which can cause this issue.

You can view the replay by placing it in the replays folder located here:
%username%\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\xxxxxxxx\x-xx-x-xxxxxxx\Replays\Multiplayer
There should be a shortcut in the StarCraft II folder pointing to your account.
You can then access the replay in-game.

StarCraft II will load into the previous patch and play the replay. Note that you will be offline on Battle.net while viewing an old replay.
