How to open MDES file?

An often recurring problem with Trimaran Machine Description is that MDES is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MDES, 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 MDES 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 Trimaran

In this case, you should first verify that the Trimaran application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Trimaran into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MDES files.

Programs to open MDES file

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

Step 2. Create association of Trimaran with MDES files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MDES file still does not use the Trimaran program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MDES file with the Trimaran program.

Step 3. Update Trimaran to the latest version

If, however, after binding Trimaran with Trimaran Machine Description 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 Trimaran Team page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The MDES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MDES files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MDES file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MDES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MDES 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MDES file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Trimaran Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MDES except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the MDES file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MDES to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
