How to open CTSYM file?
The main problem with Microsoft Visual Studio Command Table Output is that the CTSYM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CTSYM, 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 CTSYM 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Studio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CTSYM.
Programs to open CTSYM file
Remember to download programs supporting CTSYM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with CTSYM files
If, despite the installed application, the CTSYM file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 CTSYM file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Studio program with the Microsoft Visual Studio Command Table Output file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CTSYM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CTSYM 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CTSYM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CTSYM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CTSYM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 CTSYM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CTSYM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CTSYM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CTSYM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CTSYM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CTSYM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
