Wang,
  I just tried and it looks as though File: Open works as expected. The 
Trnsys17 Studio is used for opening *.tpf files; it will make its best 
attempt at automatically updating certain simulation parameters that 
changed between Trnsys15 and Trnsys16. TRNBuild is used for opening 
*.bui files; it will ask you to redefine your window data as window data 
was stored in an external file and not in the *.bui itself with Trnsys15.
