How to open ISR file?
The main problem with InstallShield Uninstall Information Format is that the ISR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ISR 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 ISR 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 InstallShield
In this case, you should first verify that the InstallShield application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name InstallShield into the 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 ISR files.
Programs to open ISR file
Remember to download programs supporting ISR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of InstallShield with ISR files
If, despite the installed application, the ISR file does not start in the InstallShield 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the InstallShield application as the default for handling the ISR file.
Step 3. Update InstallShield to the latest version
If, however, after binding InstallShield with InstallShield Uninstall Information Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Flexera Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ISR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ISR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ISR 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 ISR 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 ISR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ISR file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 ISR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ISR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
