How to open HE4 file?
The most common problem when using HDF4 is that a specific HE4 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HE4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HE4 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 HDFView
In this case, you should first verify that the HDFView application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HDFView into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support HE4 files.
Programs to open HE4 file
Remember to download programs supporting HE4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HDFView with HE4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HE4 file to open in the HDFView application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 HDFView application as the default for handling the HE4 file.
Step 3. Update HDFView to the latest version
If, however, after binding HDFView with HDF4 there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The HDF Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HE4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The HE4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HE4 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HE4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HE4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HE4 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HE4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The HDF Group
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HE4 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HE4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HE4 file again. 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.
