How to open CII file?
An often recurring problem with Caesar II is that CII is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CII to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CII 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 CAESAR II
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CAESAR II is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CAESAR II 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 CII files.
Programs to open CII file
Remember to download programs supporting CII files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CAESAR II with CII files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CII file still does not use the CAESAR II program, it means no 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. 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 CII file with the CAESAR II program.
Step 3. Update CAESAR II to the latest version
If, however, after binding CAESAR II with Caesar II there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intergraph Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CII file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CII file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CII file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CII or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CII files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CII file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CII file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intergraph Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CII 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CII file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CII file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CII to close. However, some background programs may block the CII file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
