What is ESO file?
The file in the ESO format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by DesignBuilder Software Ltd. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DesignBuilder EnergyPlus Output is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The DesignBuilder application is recommended to open the file. It was released by DesignBuilder Software Ltd.
How to open ESO file?
The main problem with DesignBuilder EnergyPlus Output is that the ESO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ESO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ESO 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 DesignBuilder
In this case, you should first verify that the DesignBuilder application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DesignBuilder 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 ESO with DesignBuilder. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ESO files.
Programs to open ESO file
Remember to download programs supporting ESO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DesignBuilder with ESO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ESO file to open in the DesignBuilder application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ESO file with the DesignBuilder application.
Step 3. Update DesignBuilder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DesignBuilder program, it is possible that DesignBuilder EnergyPlus Output requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DesignBuilder Software Ltd page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 ESO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ESO file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ESO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ESO 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ESO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DesignBuilder Software Ltd, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ESO 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ESO to a different directory.
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 ESO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ESO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
