How to open MIV file?
The most common problem when using MapImagery Vendor Profile is that a specific MIV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MIV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MIV 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 MapImagery
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MapImagery is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MapImagery 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 MIV files.
Programs to open MIV file
Remember to download programs supporting MIV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MapImagery with MIV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MIV file still does not use the MapImagery program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MapImagery application as the default for handling the MIV file.
Step 3. Update MapImagery to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MapImagery program, it is possible that MapImagery Vendor Profile requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MapImagery Pty Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MIV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MIV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MIV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 MIV file. Sometimes virus-infected MIV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MIV 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MIV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MapImagery Pty Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MIV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MIV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 MIV to close. However, some background programs may block the MIV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
