How to open HSX file?

The main problem with Health & Safety Xpert Project is that the HSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HSX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HSX 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 Health & Safety Xpert

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Health & Safety Xpert is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Health & Safety Xpert into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HSX.

Programs to open HSX file

Remember to download programs supporting HSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Health & Safety Xpert with HSX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HSX file to open in the Health & Safety Xpert application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HSX file with the Health & Safety Xpert program.

Step 3. Update Health & Safety Xpert to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Health & Safety Xpert program, it is possible that Health & Safety Xpert Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the HBXL Construction Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HSX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HSX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HSX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HSX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HSX files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HSX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use HBXL Construction Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HSX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HSX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
