What is VHO file?
The file with the extension VHO is the Misc Files file type. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Xilinx Instantiation Template Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use ISE Design Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Xilinx, Inc..
How to open VHO file?
The main problem with Xilinx Instantiation Template Format is that the VHO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VHO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VHO 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 ISE Design Suite
The first step is to check if the computer has the ISE Design Suite program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ISE Design Suite in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VHO files.
Programs to open VHO file
Remember to download programs supporting VHO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with VHO files
If, despite the installed application, the VHO file does not start in the ISE Design Suite 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 VHO file with the ISE Design Suite program.
Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ISE Design Suite program with the Xilinx Instantiation Template Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Xilinx, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VHO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The VHO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VHO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VHO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VHO 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 VHO 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VHO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VHO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VHO 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 you have to wait for the session to the file VHO to close. However, some background programs may block the VHO file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
