Step 2. Create association of Limesurvey with PSTPL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSTPL file still does not use the Limesurvey program, it means no association. 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSTPL file with the Limesurvey application.
Step 3. Update Limesurvey to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Limesurvey program, it is possible that Limesurvey Template Related requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Limesurvey Project website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSTPL 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSTPL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSTPL file. However, remember that not every infected PSTPL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PSTPL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSTPL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Limesurvey Project
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PSTPL 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PSTPL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSTPL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSTPL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
