How to open VGL file?
The main problem with VGStudio Project is that the VGL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VGL 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 VGL 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 VGStudio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VGStudio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VGStudio into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support VGL files.
Programs to open VGL file
Remember to download programs supporting VGL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VGStudio with VGL files
If, despite the installed application, the VGL file does not start in the VGStudio 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. 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. 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 VGStudio application as the default for handling the VGL file.
Step 3. Update VGStudio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VGStudio program, it is possible that VGStudio Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Volume Graphics GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VGL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VGL file. 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 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 VGL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VGL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VGL 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VGL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Volume Graphics GmbH
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VGL 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. If possible, you can try to move the VGL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VGL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
