How to open ERV file?
The most common problem when using ER Mapper ASCII Header is that a specific ERV is not associated with the program. This causes the file ERV 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 ERV 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 ERDAS ER Mapper
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ERDAS ER Mapper is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ERDAS ER Mapper into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ERV with ERDAS ER Mapper. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ERV files.
Programs to open ERV file
Remember to download programs supporting ERV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ERDAS ER Mapper with ERV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ERV file still does not use the ERDAS ER Mapper program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ERV file with the ERDAS ER Mapper application.
Step 3. Update ERDAS ER Mapper to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ERDAS ER Mapper program, it is possible that ER Mapper ASCII Header requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ERDAS, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ERV 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ERV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ERV file. Sometimes virus-infected ERV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ERV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ERV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ERDAS, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ERV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ERV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ERV to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
