How to open SMZIP file?
The most common problem when using StepMania Package is that a specific SMZIP is not associated with the program. This causes the file SMZIP 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 SMZIP 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 StepMania
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StepMania is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing StepMania 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 is a list of programs that support the file SMZIP.

Remember to download programs supporting SMZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StepMania with SMZIP files
If, despite the installed application, the SMZIP file does not start in the StepMania application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the StepMania application as the default for handling the SMZIP file.
Step 3. Update StepMania to the latest version
If, however, after binding StepMania with StepMania Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the StepMania website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMZIP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 SMZIP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SMZIP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SMZIP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SMZIP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SMZIP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact StepMania
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SMZIP 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.
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. It is best to move SMZIP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SMZIP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SMZIP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
