The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CPT page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ELZ 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. Usually this applies to ELZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ELZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ELZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ELZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ELZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CPT
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ELZ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ELZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ELZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ELZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ELZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
