The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMB 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 ZTreeWin
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZTreeWin is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZTreeWin 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 CMB files.
Programs to open CMB file
Remember to download programs supporting CMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZTreeWin with CMB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CMB file still does not use the ZTreeWin 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 select the desired program. 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 CMB file with the ZTreeWin application.
Step 3. Update ZTreeWin to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZTreeWin with Xtree For Windows Button Bar there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ZTree website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMB 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 CMB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CMB 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 CMB file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CMB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Jeffrey C Johnson (XTree Company)
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CMB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CMB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CMB file again. 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.
