It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INV file with the McEdit application.
Step 3. Update McEdit to the latest version
If, however, after binding McEdit with INVedit Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INV file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INV file. Sometimes virus-infected INV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INV file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move INV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INV file again. However, some background programs may block the INV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
