In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. IDL ITools State is most often found on 1 operating systems.

This is a program created by Exelis Visual Information Solutions.
How to open ISV file?
An often recurring problem with IDL ITools State is that ISV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ISV 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 ISV 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 IDL
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IDL is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IDL in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ISV with IDL. Below you will find a list of applications that support ISV files.
Programs to open ISV file
Remember to download programs supporting ISV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IDL with ISV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISV file to open in the IDL application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ISV file with the IDL application.
Step 3. Update IDL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IDL program with the IDL ITools State file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Exelis Visual Information Solutions website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ISV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ISV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ISV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ISV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ISV files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ISV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Exelis Visual Information Solutions, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ISV file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 ISV to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
