How to open ZBLORB file?

The main problem with Z-code Game is that the ZBLORB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ZBLORB 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 ZBLORB 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 Windows Frotz

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Frotz is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Frotz 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 ZBLORB with Windows Frotz. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZBLORB files.

Programs to open ZBLORB file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Frotz with ZBLORB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZBLORB file to open in the Windows Frotz application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 ZBLORB file with the Windows Frotz program.

Step 3. Update Windows Frotz to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Windows Frotz program, it is possible that Z-code Game requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZBLORB 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 suggests truncating the ZBLORB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZBLORB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZBLORB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ZBLORB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZBLORB file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZBLORB 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ZBLORB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZBLORB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZBLORB file again. However, some background programs may block the ZBLORB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
