How to open AVRO file?
An often recurring problem with Apache Avro Serialized Data Format is that AVRO is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AVRO, 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 AVRO 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 Apache Avro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache Avro program installed. This can be achieved by typing Apache Avro 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 AVRO files.
Programs to open AVRO file
Remember to download programs supporting AVRO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache Avro with AVRO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AVRO file to open in the Apache Avro 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AVRO file with the Apache Avro application.
Step 3. Update Apache Avro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apache Avro program with the Apache Avro Serialized Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apache Software Foundation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVRO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AVRO 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 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AVRO file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AVRO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AVRO file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AVRO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AVRO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the AVRO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
