How to open XPZ file?
The main problem with GeneXus Data Format is that the XPZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XPZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XPZ 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 GeneXus
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GeneXus is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GeneXus in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XPZ with GeneXus. Below is a list of programs that support the file XPZ.
Programs to open XPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting XPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeneXus with XPZ files
If, despite the installed application, the XPZ file does not start in the GeneXus application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XPZ file with the GeneXus program.
Step 3. Update GeneXus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GeneXus program with the GeneXus Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Artech Consultores S.R.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XPZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XPZ file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XPZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XPZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XPZ file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XPZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XPZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XPZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XPZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XPZ to close. However, some background programs may block the XPZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
