How to open COMPARISON7 file?
An often recurring problem with Araxis Merge Comparison Data Format is that COMPARISON7 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that COMPARISON7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COMPARISON7 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 Merge
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Merge is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Merge 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 COMPARISON7 files.
Programs to open COMPARISON7 file
Remember to download programs supporting COMPARISON7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Merge with COMPARISON7 files
If, despite the installed application, the COMPARISON7 file does not start in the Merge application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the COMPARISON7 file with the Merge program.
Step 3. Update Merge to the latest version
If, however, after binding Merge with Araxis Merge Comparison Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COMPARISON7 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The COMPARISON7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the COMPARISON7 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the COMPARISON7 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover COMPARISON7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of COMPARISON7 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair COMPARISON7 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted COMPARISON7 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 COMPARISON7 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the COMPARISON7 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
