How to open USL file?

Step 1. Install ProWORX

The first step is to check if the computer has the ProWORX program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ProWORX in it. 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 USL.

Programs to open USL file

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

Step 2. Create association of ProWORX with USL files

If, despite the installed application, the USL file does not start in the ProWORX 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the USL file with the ProWORX program.

Step 3. Update ProWORX to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ProWORX program, it is possible that ProWORX Nxt USL Loadable requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Schneider Electric S.A. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the USL file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the USL 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file USL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected USL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the USL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged USL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Schneider Electric S.A.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file USL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move USL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file USL to close. However, some background programs may block the USL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
