The Omniscope Desktop application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Visokio.
How to open IOK file?
The main problem with Omniscope Configuration is that the IOK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IOK 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 IOK 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 Omniscope Desktop
The first step is to check if the computer has the Omniscope Desktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing Omniscope Desktop into the operating system search engine. 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 IOK files.
Programs to open IOK file
Remember to download programs supporting IOK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Omniscope Desktop with IOK files
If, despite the installed application, the IOK file does not start in the Omniscope Desktop 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 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IOK file with the Omniscope Desktop application.
Step 3. Update Omniscope Desktop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Omniscope Desktop program, it is possible that Omniscope Configuration requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Visokio website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IOK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The IOK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to IOK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IOK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IOK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IOK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IOK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Visokio help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IOK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IOK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IOK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IOK to close. However, some background programs may block the IOK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
