How to open EIO file?
An often recurring problem with DesignBuilder EnergyPlus Model Summary Configuration Output is that EIO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EIO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EIO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install DesignBuilder
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DesignBuilder is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DesignBuilder into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EIO files.
Programs to open EIO file
Remember to download programs supporting EIO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DesignBuilder with EIO files
If, despite the installed application, the EIO file does not start in the DesignBuilder application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EIO file with the DesignBuilder application.
Step 3. Update DesignBuilder to the latest version
If, however, after binding DesignBuilder with DesignBuilder EnergyPlus Model Summary Configuration Output there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the DesignBuilder Software Ltd website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EIO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EIO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EIO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EIO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EIO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EIO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DesignBuilder Software Ltd help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EIO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move EIO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EIO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EIO file again. However, some background programs may block the EIO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
