How to open VMLOG file?
An often recurring problem with VMware Replay Recording is that VMLOG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VMLOG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VMLOG 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 VMware Workstation
In this case, you should first verify that the VMware Workstation application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VMware Workstation in it. 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 VMLOG.
Programs to open VMLOG file
Remember to download programs supporting VMLOG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VMware Workstation with VMLOG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VMLOG file still does not use the VMware Workstation program, it means no association. 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. 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 VMLOG file with the VMware Workstation application.
Step 3. Update VMware Workstation to the latest version
If, however, after binding VMware Workstation with VMware Replay Recording there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the VMware, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMLOG 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 VMLOG 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 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VMLOG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected VMLOG 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 VMLOG 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VMLOG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact VMware, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMLOG 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 VMLOG file to another location will fix the problem.
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 VMLOG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMLOG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
