How to open GDZ file?
An often recurring problem with Genbox Family History Data Initialization is that GDZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GDZ, 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 GDZ 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 Genbox Family History

Programs to open GDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting GDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Genbox Family History with GDZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GDZ file still does not use the Genbox Family History program, it means no 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Genbox Family History application as the default for handling the GDZ file.
Step 3. Update Genbox Family History to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Genbox Family History program, it is possible that Genbox Family History Data Initialization requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Thoughtful Creations website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GDZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GDZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GDZ file. Sometimes virus-infected GDZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GDZ files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GDZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Thoughtful Creations help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GDZ 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. If possible, you can try to move the GDZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GDZ 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 GDZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
