How to open VSZ file?
The most common problem when using Visual Studio Wizard Format is that a specific VSZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VSZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSZ 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VSZ with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file VSZ.
Programs to open VSZ file
Remember to download programs supporting VSZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with VSZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VSZ file to open in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 VSZ file with the Microsoft Visual Studio application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Visual Studio Wizard Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The VSZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VSZ 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VSZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VSZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VSZ 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VSZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VSZ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move VSZ to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
