Workflow devloped not getting open in SharePoint Designer 2013


Workflow devloped not getting open in Designer 2013.


Error:
1) Failed to load this workflow. To correct this problem restart the designer.
2) Windows workflow foundation, part of .Net Framwork 3.0, must be installed to use this feature.

This error comes beacuse of the designer you are using and the designer where this workflow is devloped is of different version. If after the installation of the latest deigner updates the problem does not get resolved. The reason behind that is that in website keeps DLL in the cache folder which does not get refreshed when the new updates for designer is installed.
 Solution: Install the latest updates for designer SharePoint 2013 and clear the website cache.It will work fine.
To clear the designer workflow cache go to the folder:

1. Go to %System Drive%\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebSiteCache
2. Go to a directory which is for website you were connecting to and delete all the files.
3. Restart SPD.
