How to open MVA file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Setup Archive is that MVA is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MVA, 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 MVA 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 Microsoft Windows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Windows in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MVA files.
Programs to open MVA file
Remember to download programs supporting MVA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with MVA files
If, despite the installed application, the MVA file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MVA file with the Microsoft Windows program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the Microsoft Setup Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 MVA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 MVA file. Sometimes virus-infected MVA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MVA files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair MVA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MVA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MVA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MVA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MVA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
