How to open PSI file?

Step 1. Install PrimalScript

Programs to open PSI file

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

Step 2. Create association of PrimalScript with PSI files

If, despite the installed application, the PSI file does not start in the PrimalScript application, you must create a file 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSI file with the PrimalScript application.

Step 3. Update PrimalScript to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the PrimalScript program, it is possible that PrimalScript Online Help Shortcut requires a newer version of the program.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 SAPIEN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSI file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PSI 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PSI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PSI 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sapien Technologies
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PSI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PSI 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
