How to open ZPS file?
The main problem with Zebra Portable Safe Format is that the ZPS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ZPS 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 ZPS 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 ZPS Explorer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZPS Explorer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZPS Explorer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZPS with ZPS Explorer. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZPS.
Programs to open ZPS file
Remember to download programs supporting ZPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZPS Explorer with ZPS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZPS file still does not use the ZPS Explorer 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 ZPS file with the ZPS Explorer program.
Step 3. Update ZPS Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZPS Explorer program, it is possible that Zebra Portable Safe Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Zebra Digital Assets page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZPS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZPS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZPS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZPS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZPS file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 ZPS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Zebra Digital Assets help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZPS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZPS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 ZPS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZPS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
