It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZCL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZCL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZCL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZCL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZCL file corruption. 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZCL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ZCL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZCL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZCL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
