How to open VIS file?
The most common problem when using Visual Importer Script is that a specific VIS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open VIS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VIS 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 Visual Importer
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual Importer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual Importer 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VIS files.
Programs to open VIS file
Remember to download programs supporting VIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual Importer with VIS files
If, despite the installed application, the VIS file does not start in the Visual Importer 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. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VIS file with the Visual Importer application.
Step 3. Update Visual Importer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Visual Importer with Visual Importer Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VIS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VIS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VIS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VIS 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 VIS 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VIS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VIS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 VIS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VIS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VIS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VIS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
