How to open SPDESIGNMASTER file?
The main problem with SharePoint Designer is that the SPDESIGNMASTER file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SPDESIGNMASTER, 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 SPDESIGNMASTER 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Office SharePoint Designer program installed. 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 SPDESIGNMASTER files.
Programs to open SPDESIGNMASTER file
Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNMASTER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNMASTER files
If, despite the installed application, the SPDESIGNMASTER file does not start in the Office SharePoint Designer 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. 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 Office SharePoint Designer application as the default for handling the SPDESIGNMASTER file.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Office SharePoint Designer program with the SharePoint Designer file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNMASTER 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:
The SPDESIGNMASTER file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SPDESIGNMASTER file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SPDESIGNMASTER or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SPDESIGNMASTER 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 SPDESIGNMASTER file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPDESIGNMASTER files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPDESIGNMASTER 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SPDESIGNMASTER file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SPDESIGNMASTER 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. However, some background programs may block the SPDESIGNMASTER file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
