How to open SPDESIGNCONFIG file?
An often recurring problem with SharePoint Designer Configuration is that SPDESIGNCONFIG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SPDESIGNCONFIG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPDESIGNCONFIG 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 Office SharePoint Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Office SharePoint Designer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Office SharePoint Designer in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SPDESIGNCONFIG files.
Programs to open SPDESIGNCONFIG file
Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNCONFIG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPDESIGNCONFIG file still does not use the Office SharePoint Designer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPDESIGNCONFIG file with the Office SharePoint Designer application.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Office SharePoint Designer program with the SharePoint Designer Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNCONFIG 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPDESIGNCONFIG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 SPDESIGNCONFIG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPDESIGNCONFIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPDESIGNCONFIG files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPDESIGNCONFIG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SPDESIGNCONFIG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPDESIGNCONFIG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SPDESIGNCONFIG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SPDESIGNCONFIG file again. However, some background programs may block the SPDESIGNCONFIG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
