How to open IBN file?

The most common problem when using WinIQSIM is that a specific IBN is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IBN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IBN 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 WinIQSIM

In this case, you should first verify that the WinIQSIM application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinIQSIM in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IBN files.

Programs to open IBN file

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

Step 2. Create association of WinIQSIM with IBN files

If, despite the installed application, the IBN file does not start in the WinIQSIM application, you must create a file 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IBN file with the WinIQSIM application.

Step 3. Update WinIQSIM to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinIQSIM with WinIQSIM there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Rohde & Schwarz website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IBN 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. 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 IBN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IBN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of IBN 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 IBN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Rohde & Schwarz
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IBN 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 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 IBN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IBN to close. However, some background programs may block the IBN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
