The TRACE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TRACE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TRACE file on each system platform.
What is TRACE file?
The TRACE file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is VMware. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. VMware ThinApp Trace Log Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is ThinApp. This was created by VMware, Inc..
How to open TRACE file?
The main problem with VMware ThinApp Trace Log Format is that the TRACE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TRACE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TRACE 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 ThinApp
The first step is to check if the computer has the ThinApp program installed. To do this, enter the name ThinApp into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TRACE.
Programs to open TRACE file
Remember to download programs supporting TRACE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ThinApp with TRACE files
If, despite the installed application, the TRACE file does not start in the ThinApp application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ThinApp application as the default for handling the TRACE file.
Step 3. Update ThinApp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ThinApp program, it is possible that VMware ThinApp Trace Log Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the VMware, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TRACE 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:
The TRACE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TRACE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TRACE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TRACE 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 TRACE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TRACE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact VMware
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TRACE 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TRACE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TRACE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
