How to open SPDESIGNOPEN file?

An often recurring problem with SharePoint Designer is that SPDESIGNOPEN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SPDESIGNOPEN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SPDESIGNOPEN 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.

Programs to open SPDESIGNOPEN file

Remember to download programs supporting SPDESIGNOPEN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNOPEN files

If, despite the installed application, the SPDESIGNOPEN file does not start in the Office SharePoint Designer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SPDESIGNOPEN file with the Office SharePoint Designer program.

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 SPDESIGNOPEN file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The SPDESIGNOPEN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SPDESIGNOPEN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPDESIGNOPEN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPDESIGNOPEN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SPDESIGNOPEN file. 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 SPDESIGNOPEN files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SPDESIGNOPEN 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SPDESIGNOPEN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SPDESIGNOPEN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPDESIGNOPEN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SPDESIGNOPEN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
