How to open VDZ file?
The main problem with Schneider Vijeo Designer Project is that the VDZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VDZ 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 VDZ 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 Vijeo Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the Vijeo Designer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Vijeo Designer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support VDZ files.
Programs to open VDZ file
Remember to download programs supporting VDZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Vijeo Designer with VDZ files
If, despite the installed application, the VDZ file does not start in the Vijeo Designer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VDZ file with the Vijeo Designer program.
Step 3. Update Vijeo Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Vijeo Designer with Schneider Vijeo Designer Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 VDZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VDZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 VDZ file. However, remember that not every infected VDZ 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 VDZ 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 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 VDZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Schneider Electric S.A., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VDZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VDZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VDZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
