Step 1. Install Animation-ish

Programs to open ISH2 file
Remember to download programs supporting ISH2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Animation-ish with ISH2 files
If, despite the installed application, the ISH2 file does not start in the Animation-ish 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ISH2 file with the Animation-ish application.
Step 3. Update Animation-ish to the latest version
If, however, after binding Animation-ish with Animation-ish FlipBook-ish Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the FableVision website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISH2 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ISH2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ISH2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ISH2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ISH2 file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ISH2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FableVision, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISH2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ISH2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ISH2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
