How to open SPDESIGNNAV file?
An often recurring problem with SharePoint Designer is that SPDESIGNNAV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SPDESIGNNAV 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 SPDESIGNNAV 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support SPDESIGNNAV files.
Programs to open SPDESIGNNAV file
Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNNAV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNNAV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPDESIGNNAV file to open in the Office SharePoint Designer application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Office SharePoint Designer application as the default for handling the SPDESIGNNAV file.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Office SharePoint Designer program, it is possible that SharePoint Designer requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNNAV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SPDESIGNNAV file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SPDESIGNNAV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SPDESIGNNAV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SPDESIGNNAV 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SPDESIGNNAV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPDESIGNNAV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SPDESIGNNAV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
