What is SDKMESH file?
The file with the extension SDKMESH is the Graphic Files file type. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. Microsoft DirectX Vertex Mesh is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the SDKMESH file. You can use DirectX in case DXUT cannot be used.
How to open SDKMESH file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft DirectX Vertex Mesh is that SDKMESH is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SDKMESH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDKMESH 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 DXUT
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DXUT is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DXUT into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SDKMESH files.
Programs to open SDKMESH file
Remember to download programs supporting SDKMESH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DXUT with SDKMESH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SDKMESH file to open in the DXUT application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 DXUT application as the default for handling the SDKMESH file.
Step 3. Update DXUT to the latest version
If, however, after binding DXUT with Microsoft DirectX Vertex Mesh there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDKMESH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 SDKMESH 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SDKMESH file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SDKMESH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SDKMESH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SDKMESH files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SDKMESH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SDKMESH to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SDKMESH file again. However, some background programs may block the SDKMESH file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
