How to open VEL file?
The main problem with NEPLAN Network Differences is that the VEL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VEL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VEL 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 NEPLAN
The first step is to check if the computer has the NEPLAN program installed. This can be achieved by typing NEPLAN into the operating 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 VEL.
Programs to open VEL file
Remember to download programs supporting VEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NEPLAN with VEL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VEL file still does not use the NEPLAN program, it means no 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 VEL file with the NEPLAN program.
Step 3. Update NEPLAN to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NEPLAN program with the NEPLAN Network Differences 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 NEPLAN website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VEL 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VEL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VEL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VEL 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 VEL 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VEL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NEPLAN, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VEL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VEL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VEL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
