Step 1. Install FlowBiz Workflow Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FlowBiz Workflow Designer is installed on the computer.

Programs to open FBD file
Remember to download programs supporting FBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlowBiz Workflow Designer with FBD files
If, despite the installed application, the FBD file does not start in the FlowBiz Workflow Designer 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. 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. 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 FBD file with the FlowBiz Workflow Designer application.
Step 3. Update FlowBiz Workflow Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlowBiz Workflow Designer program with the FlowBiz Workflow Designer Procedure Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FlowBiz website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FBD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FBD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FBD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FBD 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FBD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FlowBiz, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FBD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FBD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FBD 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. However, some background programs may block the FBD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
