How to open ESX file?

Programs to open ESX file

Step 2. Create association of Xactimate with ESX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ESX file to open in the Xactimate 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 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. 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 ESX file with the Xactimate application.
Step 3. Update Xactimate to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The ESX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ESX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ESX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ESX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ESX 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ESX files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ESX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ESX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ESX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
