How to open VXT file?

An often recurring problem with Test Automation Editor XML Test Module is that VXT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VXT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VXT 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 Test Automation Editor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Test Automation Editor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Test Automation Editor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VXT files.

Programs to open VXT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Test Automation Editor with VXT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VXT file to open in the Test Automation Editor 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VXT file with the Test Automation Editor program.

Step 3. Update Test Automation Editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Test Automation Editor program with the Test Automation Editor XML Test Module file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Vector Informatik GmbH website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The VXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VXT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VXT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VXT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VXT 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VXT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Vector Informatik GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VXT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VXT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 VXT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
