How to open EV3P file?
An often recurring problem with LEGO MINDSTORMS Program is that EV3P is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EV3P 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 EV3P 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 LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 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 EV3P with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. Below you will find a list of applications that support EV3P files.
Programs to open EV3P file
Remember to download programs supporting EV3P files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with EV3P files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EV3P file to open in the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT application as the default for handling the EV3P file.
Step 3. Update LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT program, it is possible that LEGO MINDSTORMS Program requires a newer version of the program.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 LEGO Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EV3P file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EV3P file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EV3P file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EV3P files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EV3P 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EV3P file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LEGO Group
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EV3P files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EV3P to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the EV3P file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
