How to open GSZ file?
The main problem with GeoStudio Project is that the GSZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GSZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GSZ 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 GeoStudio
In this case, you should first verify that the GeoStudio application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GeoStudio 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 GSZ with GeoStudio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GSZ files.
Programs to open GSZ file
Remember to download programs supporting GSZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeoStudio with GSZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSZ file still does not use the GeoStudio program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GeoStudio application as the default for handling the GSZ file.
Step 3. Update GeoStudio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GeoStudio program with the GeoStudio Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GEO-SLOPE International Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The GSZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GSZ 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GSZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GSZ 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 GSZ 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GSZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GEO-SLOPE International Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSZ 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. If possible, you can try to move the GSZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GSZ 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
