The APPICON file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the APPICON files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the APPICON file on each system platform.
What is APPICON file?
The APPICON file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by VMware, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. VMWare Cache appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is VMware Workstation. This was created by VMware, Inc..
How to open APPICON file?
The most common problem when using VMWare Cache is that a specific APPICON is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open APPICON, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the APPICON 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 VMware Workstation
The first step is to check if the computer has the VMware Workstation program installed. To do this, enter the name VMware Workstation into the 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 APPICON files.
Programs to open APPICON file
Remember to download programs supporting APPICON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VMware Workstation with APPICON files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the APPICON file still does not use the VMware Workstation program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 APPICON file with the VMware Workstation program.
Step 3. Update VMware Workstation to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VMware Workstation program, it is possible that VMWare Cache requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the VMware, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APPICON file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the APPICON file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our APPICON file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover APPICON 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 APPICON 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair APPICON file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact VMware, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file APPICON 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. It is best to move APPICON to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the APPICON file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
