Programs to open _VTI_BIN file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with _VTI_BIN files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the _VTI_BIN file to open in the Microsoft Windows application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the _VTI_BIN file with the Microsoft Windows application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with SharePoint there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 _VTI_BIN file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the _VTI_BIN file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file _VTI_BIN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected _VTI_BIN 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 _VTI_BIN files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged _VTI_BIN files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted _VTI_BIN 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the _VTI_BIN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file _VTI_BIN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the _VTI_BIN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
