How to open VTZ file?

The main problem with VTPro-E Compiled Project is that the VTZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open VTZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VTZ 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 VisionTools Pro-e

In this case, you should first verify that the VisionTools Pro-e application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name VisionTools Pro-e in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VTZ files.

Programs to open VTZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of VisionTools Pro-e with VTZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VTZ file to open in the VisionTools Pro-e 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VTZ file with the VisionTools Pro-e program.

Step 3. Update VisionTools Pro-e to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the VisionTools Pro-e program, it is possible that VTPro-E Compiled Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Crestron Electronics, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The VTZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to VTZ 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 VTZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VTZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VTZ files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged VTZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Crestron Electronics, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VTZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VTZ file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VTZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
