How to open HVJ file?

The most common problem when using Havij Project Format is that a specific HVJ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HVJ 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 HVJ 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 Havij

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Havij is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Havij into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HVJ files.

Programs to open HVJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Havij with HVJ files

If, despite the installed application, the HVJ file does not start in the Havij application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 Havij application as the default for handling the HVJ file.

Step 3. Update Havij to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Havij program, it is possible that Havij Project Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HVJ 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HVJ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HVJ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HVJ 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 HVJ files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HVJ files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HVJ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HVJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HVJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HVJ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
