As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OLK14MSGSOURCE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OLK14MSGSOURCE 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.

This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the OLK14MSGSOURCE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
