How to open OMC file?
The main problem with Origin Customized Menu is that the OMC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OMC 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 OMC 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 Origin
In this case, you should first verify that the Origin application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Origin into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OMC files.
Programs to open OMC file
Remember to download programs supporting OMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Origin with OMC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OMC file to open in the Origin application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OMC file with the Origin application.
Step 3. Update Origin to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Origin program, it is possible that Origin Customized Menu requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the OriginLab Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OMC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The OMC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OMC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OMC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OMC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OMC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OMC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting OriginLab Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OMC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move OMC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OMC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OMC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
