How to open GTHR file?

The main problem with Gather Log Format is that the GTHR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GTHR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GTHR 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 Gthrlog.vbs

The first step is to check if the computer has the Gthrlog.vbs program installed. To do this, enter the name Gthrlog.vbs into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GTHR with Gthrlog.vbs. Below you will find a list of applications that support GTHR files.

Programs to open GTHR file

Remember to download programs supporting GTHR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Gthrlog.vbs with GTHR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GTHR file still does not use the Gthrlog.vbs program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 Gthrlog.vbs application as the default for handling the GTHR file.

Step 3. Update Gthrlog.vbs to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Gthrlog.vbs program, it is possible that Gather Log Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GTHR file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GTHR file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GTHR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GTHR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GTHR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GTHR file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GTHR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GTHR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 GTHR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
