How to open HMAP file?
The main problem with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Temporary is that the HMAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HMAP, 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 HMAP 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 Microsoft SharePoint Server
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft SharePoint Server is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft SharePoint Server in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HMAP with Microsoft SharePoint Server. Below you will find a list of applications that support HMAP files.
Programs to open HMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting HMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SharePoint Server with HMAP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HMAP file still does not use the Microsoft SharePoint Server 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft SharePoint Server application as the default for handling the HMAP file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SharePoint Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft SharePoint Server program with the Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMAP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to HMAP 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HMAP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HMAP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HMAP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HMAP file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HMAP 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.
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. Copying the HMAP 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HMAP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HMAP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
