How to open EV3S file?
An often recurring problem with LEGO MINDSTORMS Shared is that EV3S is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EV3S, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EV3S 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
In this case, you should first verify that the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file EV3S.
Programs to open EV3S file
Remember to download programs supporting EV3S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with EV3S files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EV3S 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EV3S file with the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT program.
Step 3. Update LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT to the latest version
If, however, after binding LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with LEGO MINDSTORMS Shared there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the LEGO Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EV3S 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. This suggests truncating the EV3S file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EV3S or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected EV3S files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EV3S file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EV3S file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EV3S 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 EV3S 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 EV3S to close. However, some background programs may block the EV3S file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
