What is CPMZ file?
The file in the CPMZ format belongs to the Data Files category. The creator of this file is Benetech. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Miradi/ConPro Project Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Miradi application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Benetech Initiative. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the CPMZ file.
How to open CPMZ file?
The main problem with Miradi/ConPro Project Format is that the CPMZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CPMZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CPMZ 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 Miradi
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Miradi is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Miradi in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CPMZ files.
Programs to open CPMZ file
Remember to download programs supporting CPMZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Miradi with CPMZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CPMZ file still does not use the Miradi 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Miradi application as the default for handling the CPMZ file.
Step 3. Update Miradi to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Miradi program with the Miradi/ConPro Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Benetech Initiative page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CPMZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CPMZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CPMZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CPMZ 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 CPMZ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CPMZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Benetech, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CPMZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 CPMZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CPMZ file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
