How to open VLP file?

The main problem with LiveSite Project is that the VLP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VLP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LiveSite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LiveSite into the operating system search engine. 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 VLP files.

Programs to open VLP file

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

Step 2. Create association of LiveSite with VLP files

If, despite the installed application, the VLP file does not start in the LiveSite 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VLP file with the LiveSite program.

Step 3. Update LiveSite to the latest version

If, however, after binding LiveSite with LiveSite Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VLP 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 VLP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VLP 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VLP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VLP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VLP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VLP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VLP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VLP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VLP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VLP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
