How to open UZIP file?
An often recurring problem with FreeBSD Compressed Disk Image is that UZIP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file UZIP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UZIP 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 mkuzip
The first step is to check if the computer has the mkuzip program installed. To do this, enter the name mkuzip into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file UZIP.
Programs to open UZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting UZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of mkuzip with UZIP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UZIP file to open in the mkuzip application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 mkuzip application as the default for handling the UZIP file.
Step 3. Update mkuzip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the mkuzip program, it is possible that FreeBSD Compressed Disk Image requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UZIP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The UZIP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UZIP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UZIP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UZIP 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 UZIP 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UZIP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UZIP 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 UZIP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UZIP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UZIP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
