Step 1. Install GTAIV Handling Editor

Programs to open EVD file
Remember to download programs supporting EVD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GTAIV Handling Editor with EVD files
If, despite the installed application, the EVD file does not start in the GTAIV Handling Editor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EVD file with the GTAIV Handling Editor program.
Step 3. Update GTAIV Handling Editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GTAIV Handling Editor program, it is possible that Grand Theft Auto IV Vehicle Extended Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CoMPMStR website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVD 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EVD 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. 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 EVD file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EVD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EVD files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EVD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Rockstar Games, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EVD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the EVD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EVD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
