How to open ZAC file?

An often recurring problem with Spirit Architectural Component is that ZAC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZAC 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 ZAC 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 Spirit

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spirit is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Spirit into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open ZAC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Spirit with ZAC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZAC file still does not use the Spirit program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 ZAC file with the Spirit application.

Step 3. Update Spirit to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Spirit program with the Spirit Architectural Component file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the STI International website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZAC 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZAC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZAC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZAC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZAC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZAC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact STI International
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZAC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the ZAC 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZAC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZAC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
