Tips to open VVI file
Can't open the VVI file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open VVI files as well as a list of programs that support VVI files.
VVI file extension
The VVI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the VVI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the VVI file on each system platform.
What is VVI file?
The file with the extension VVI is the Settings Files file type. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. VisView INI Data Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Teamcenter application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Siemens AG.
How to open VVI file?
The most common problem when using VisView INI Data Format is that a specific VVI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that VVI 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 VVI 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 Teamcenter
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Teamcenter is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Teamcenter 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 VVI with Teamcenter. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VVI files.
Programs to open VVI file
Remember to download programs supporting VVI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Teamcenter with VVI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VVI file to open in the Teamcenter application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 VVI file with the Teamcenter application.
Step 3. Update Teamcenter to the latest version
If, however, after binding Teamcenter with VisView INI Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Siemens AG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VVI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VVI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VVI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VVI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VVI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair VVI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VVI 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 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 VVI 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VVI to close. However, some background programs may block the VVI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
