How to open DSU file?
The main problem with ProWORX Nxt Data Setup is that the DSU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DSU 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 DSU 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 ProWORX
The first step is to check if the computer has the ProWORX program installed. This can be achieved by typing ProWORX into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSU with ProWORX. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DSU files.
Programs to open DSU file
Remember to download programs supporting DSU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ProWORX with DSU files
If, despite the installed application, the DSU file does not start in the ProWORX application, you must create a file 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSU file with the ProWORX application.
Step 3. Update ProWORX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ProWORX program, it is possible that ProWORX Nxt Data Setup requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Schneider Electric S.A. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSU 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 DSU file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DSU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DSU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DSU 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 option of recovering data from damaged DSU files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Schneider Electric S.A.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DSU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DSU 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 DSU file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
