How to open QVPP file?

The main problem with QlikView Extension Properties Page Format is that the QVPP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that QVPP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QVPP 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 QlikView

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that QlikView is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name QlikView into the system search engine. 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 QVPP files.

Programs to open QVPP file

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

Step 2. Create association of QlikView with QVPP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QVPP file still does not use the QlikView program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the QVPP file with the QlikView program.

Step 3. Update QlikView to the latest version

If, however, after binding QlikView with QlikView Extension Properties Page Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the QlikTech International AB page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The QVPP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QVPP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QVPP file. However, remember that not every infected QVPP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of QVPP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QVPP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting QlikTech International, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QVPP 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the QVPP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QVPP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
