Step 2. Create association of VMware vCenter Orchestrator with VMOAPP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VMOAPP file still does not use the VMware vCenter Orchestrator 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 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 VMOAPP file with the VMware vCenter Orchestrator application.

Step 3. Update VMware vCenter Orchestrator to the latest version

If, however, after binding VMware vCenter Orchestrator with VMware VCenter Orchestrator Application there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the VMware, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VMOAPP file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VMOAPP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VMOAPP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VMOAPP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VMOAPP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use VMware, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VMOAPP 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 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. It is best to move VMOAPP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VMOAPP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMOAPP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
