The MASH file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MASH files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MASH file on each system platform.
What is MASH file?
The file with the extension MASH is the Developer Files file type. The creator of this file is Oracle Corporation. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Java is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Java. This was created by Oracle Corporation.
How to open MASH file?
An often recurring problem with Java is that MASH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MASH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MASH 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 Java
In this case, you should first verify that the Java application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Java into the operating 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 MASH files.
Programs to open MASH file
Remember to download programs supporting MASH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Java with MASH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MASH file still does not use the Java program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MASH file with the Java program.
Step 3. Update Java to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Java program with the Java file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Oracle Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MASH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MASH 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 MASH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MASH 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 MASH files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MASH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oracle Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MASH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MASH file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MASH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MASH to close. However, some background programs may block the MASH file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
