How to open VRE file?

The main problem with ASG Remote Desktop Settings is that the VRE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VRE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VRE 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 ASG Remote Desktop

The first step is to check if the computer has the ASG Remote Desktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing ASG Remote Desktop into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VRE with ASG Remote Desktop. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VRE files.

Programs to open VRE file

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

Step 2. Create association of ASG Remote Desktop with VRE files

If, despite the installed application, the VRE file does not start in the ASG Remote Desktop application, you must create a file 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VRE file with the ASG Remote Desktop application.

Step 3. Update ASG Remote Desktop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ASG Remote Desktop program with the ASG Remote Desktop Settings 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 ASG GMBH & CO. KG page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VRE 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 VRE 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VRE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VRE 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 VRE file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VRE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ASG GMBH & CO. KG
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VRE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the VRE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VRE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
