How to open MUSE file?

The most common problem when using Adobe Muse Website Project is that a specific MUSE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MUSE, 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 MUSE 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 Adobe Muse

The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Muse program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Muse 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 MUSE files.

Programs to open MUSE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Muse with MUSE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MUSE file still does not use the Adobe Muse 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 MUSE file with the Adobe Muse program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Muse to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Muse program with the Adobe Muse Website Project 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MUSE 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MUSE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MUSE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MUSE 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 MUSE 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MUSE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MUSE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MUSE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MUSE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MUSE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
