What is VIA file?

How to open VIA file?

An often recurring problem with ARM Compiler Data Format is that VIA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that VIA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VIA 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the program installed. This can be achieved by typing into the operating system search engine. 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 VIA files.

Programs to open VIA file

Remember to download programs supporting VIA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of with VIA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VIA file to open in the application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 VIA file with the program.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, however, after binding with ARM Compiler Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VIA file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VIA 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VIA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VIA 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 VIA 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 VIA file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VIA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VIA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VIA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
