How to open ZDT file?
The most common problem when using ZDT Data Format is that a specific ZDT is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZDT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZDT 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 Zhongwen Development Tool
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Zhongwen Development Tool is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Zhongwen Development Tool into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZDT.
Programs to open ZDT file
Remember to download programs supporting ZDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zhongwen Development Tool with ZDT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZDT file still does not use the Zhongwen Development Tool program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZDT file with the Zhongwen Development Tool program.
Step 3. Update Zhongwen Development Tool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Zhongwen Development Tool program with the ZDT 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 SourceForge.net page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZDT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZDT 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZDT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZDT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZDT files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZDT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZDT 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ZDT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 you have to wait for the session to the file ZDT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZDT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
