How to open VIX file?

An often recurring problem with ACUCOBOL-GT Index is that VIX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VIX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VIX 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 ACUCOBOL-GT

In this case, you should first verify that the ACUCOBOL-GT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ACUCOBOL-GT into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file VIX.

Programs to open VIX file

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

Step 2. Create association of ACUCOBOL-GT with VIX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VIX file still does not use the ACUCOBOL-GT program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VIX file with the ACUCOBOL-GT application.

Step 3. Update ACUCOBOL-GT to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ACUCOBOL-GT program, it is possible that ACUCOBOL-GT Index requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Micro Focus International plc page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VIX 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 VIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VIX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VIX file. Sometimes virus-infected VIX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VIX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VIX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VIX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VIX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VIX 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
