What is LSU file?

The file in the LSU format belongs to the Data Files category. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. LANsurveyor Map is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use LANsurveyor to handle this file. This is a program created by SolarWinds.

How to open LSU file?

The main problem with LANsurveyor Map is that the LSU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LSU 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 LSU 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 LANsurveyor

In this case, you should first verify that the LANsurveyor application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LANsurveyor in it. 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 LSU files.

Programs to open LSU file

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

Step 2. Create association of LANsurveyor with LSU files

If, despite the installed application, the LSU file does not start in the LANsurveyor 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LANsurveyor application as the default for handling the LSU file.

Step 3. Update LANsurveyor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the LANsurveyor program, it is possible that LANsurveyor Map requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SolarWinds website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSU 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 LSU 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LSU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LSU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LSU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LSU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LSU 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move LSU to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LSU 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 LSU to close. 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.
