How to open QES file?

The most common problem when using Askiadesign Questionnaire is that a specific QES is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that QES 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 QES 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 askiadesign

The first step is to check if the computer has the askiadesign program installed. This can be achieved by typing askiadesign into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support QES files.

Programs to open QES file

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

Step 2. Create association of askiadesign with QES files

If, despite the installed application, the QES file does not start in the askiadesign application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the askiadesign application as the default for handling the QES file.

Step 3. Update askiadesign to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the askiadesign program, it is possible that Askiadesign Questionnaire requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Askia SAS website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QES 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. This suggests truncating the QES file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QES or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of QES file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QES file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Askia SAS, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QES files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the QES file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QES file again. However, some background programs may block the QES file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
