What is MZP file?
The file with the extension MZP is the Compressed Files file type. The author of this format is Autodesk. In addition to this file, the Compressed Files category includes 236 related files.

How to open MZP file?
An often recurring problem with MAXScript Zip Package is that MZP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MZP 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 MZP 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 3ds Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3ds Max program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 3ds Max in it. 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 MZP files.
Programs to open MZP file
Remember to download programs supporting MZP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with MZP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MZP file still does not use the 3ds Max program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 MZP file with the 3ds Max program.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3ds Max program with the MAXScript Zip Package file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MZP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MZP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MZP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MZP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MZP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MZP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MZP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MZP 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MZP 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.
