How to open MSLZ file?
An often recurring problem with Archive is that MSLZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MSLZ 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 MSLZ 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 7-Zip
The first step is to check if the computer has the 7-Zip program installed. To do this, enter the name 7-Zip into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MSLZ files.
Programs to open MSLZ file
Remember to download programs supporting MSLZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with MSLZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MSLZ file to open in the 7-Zip application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MSLZ file with the 7-Zip program.
Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version
If, however, after binding 7-Zip with Archive 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 Igor Pavlov website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSLZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MSLZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MSLZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MSLZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MSLZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MSLZ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MSLZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MSLZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MSLZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MSLZ to close. However, some background programs may block the MSLZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
