What is WSMDI file?
The WSMDI file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Microsoft Visual Studio Test List is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Visual Studio. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open WSMDI file?
The main problem with Microsoft Visual Studio Test List is that the WSMDI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WSMDI 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 WSMDI 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. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Visual Studio 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file WSMDI.
Programs to open WSMDI file
Remember to download programs supporting WSMDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with WSMDI files
If, despite the installed application, the WSMDI file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio 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 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. 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 WSMDI 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 Microsoft Visual Studio Test List 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 WSMDI 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. This suggests truncating the WSMDI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WSMDI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WSMDI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WSMDI files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged WSMDI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WSMDI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WSMDI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WSMDI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WSMDI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSMDI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
