How to open SAZ file?

The main problem with Fiddler Session Archive ZIP is that the SAZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SAZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAZ 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 Fiddler

The first step is to check if the computer has the Fiddler program installed. To do this, enter the name Fiddler into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SAZ.

Step 2. Create association of Fiddler with SAZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SAZ file still does not use the Fiddler program, it means no 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. 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 Fiddler application as the default for handling the SAZ file.

Step 3. Update Fiddler to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Fiddler program, it is possible that Fiddler Session Archive ZIP requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Eric Lawrence website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SAZ file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SAZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SAZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SAZ 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.
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 SAZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SAZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SAZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SAZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SAZ to close. However, some background programs may block the SAZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
