How to open VLAB file?

The most common problem when using VisionLab Studio Project Format is that a specific VLAB is not associated with the program. This causes the file VLAB 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 VLAB 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 VisionLab Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VisionLab Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VisionLab Studio in it. 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 VLAB files.

Programs to open VLAB file

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

Step 2. Create association of VisionLab Studio with VLAB files

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

Step 3. Update VisionLab Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the VisionLab Studio program with the VisionLab Studio Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FXhome Limited website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The VLAB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VLAB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VLAB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VLAB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VLAB 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VLAB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VLAB 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 VLAB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VLAB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VLAB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
