How to open VMOPTIONS file?
The most common problem when using Install4j VM Parameters is that a specific VMOPTIONS is not associated with the program. This causes the file VMOPTIONS 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 VMOPTIONS 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 install4j

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 VMOPTIONS files.
Programs to open VMOPTIONS file
Remember to download programs supporting VMOPTIONS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of install4j with VMOPTIONS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VMOPTIONS file still does not use the install4j 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 VMOPTIONS file with the install4j application.
Step 3. Update install4j to the latest version
If, despite the association of the install4j program with the Install4j VM Parameters file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ej-technologies GmbH page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMOPTIONS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VMOPTIONS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 VMOPTIONS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VMOPTIONS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VMOPTIONS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VMOPTIONS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ej-technologies GmbH help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMOPTIONS 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. Copying the VMOPTIONS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMOPTIONS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
