The LSR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LSR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LSR file on each system platform.
What is LSR file?
The LSR file has been categorized as Data Files. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. LANsurveyor Report is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The LANsurveyor application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SolarWinds.
How to open LSR file?
The main problem with LANsurveyor Report is that the LSR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LSR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LSR 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 LANsurveyor
In this case, you should first verify that the LANsurveyor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LANsurveyor 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 you will find a list of applications that support LSR files.
Programs to open LSR file
Remember to download programs supporting LSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LANsurveyor with LSR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LSR file to open in the LANsurveyor 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LANsurveyor application as the default for handling the LSR file.
Step 3. Update LANsurveyor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LANsurveyor program, it is possible that LANsurveyor Report requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SolarWinds page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LSR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LSR file. However, remember that not every infected LSR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LSR 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 LSR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LSR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the LSR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LSR file again. However, some background programs may block the LSR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
