How to open MPZ file?
The most common problem when using Miradi Project Format is that a specific MPZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MPZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPZ 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 Miradi
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Miradi is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Miradi 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support MPZ files.
Programs to open MPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting MPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Miradi with MPZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MPZ file still does not use the Miradi program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MPZ file with the Miradi application.
Step 3. Update Miradi to the latest version
If, however, after binding Miradi with Miradi Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Benetech Initiative website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MPZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MPZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MPZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MPZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MPZ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MPZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Benetech
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MPZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MPZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MPZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MPZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
