How to open RIV file?
The most common problem when using CRiSP Harvest is that a specific RIV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RIV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RIV 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 2. Create association of CRiSP Harvest with RIV files
If, despite the installed application, the RIV file does not start in the CRiSP Harvest 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CRiSP Harvest application as the default for handling the RIV file.
Step 3. Update CRiSP Harvest to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CRiSP Harvest program, it is possible that CRiSP Harvest requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, University of Washington website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RIV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 RIV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RIV file. However, remember that not every infected RIV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RIV file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 option of recovering data from damaged RIV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, University of Washington
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RIV 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RIV 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RIV file again. 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.
