How to open LAUNCH file?

An often recurring problem with Zend Studio Debugger Configuration is that LAUNCH is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that LAUNCH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LAUNCH 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 Zend Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the Zend Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Zend Studio 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 LAUNCH files.

Programs to open LAUNCH file

Remember to download programs supporting LAUNCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Zend Studio with LAUNCH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LAUNCH file to open in the Zend Studio application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Zend Studio application as the default for handling the LAUNCH file.

Step 3. Update Zend Studio to the latest version

If, however, after binding Zend Studio with Zend Studio Debugger Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Zend Technologies Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAUNCH file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LAUNCH file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LAUNCH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LAUNCH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LAUNCH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LAUNCH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Zend Technologies Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LAUNCH 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 LAUNCH to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LAUNCH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LAUNCH to close. However, some background programs may block the LAUNCH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
