How to open ZS* file?

The most common problem when using XWE Data Format is that a specific ZS* is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ZS*, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZS* 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 XWE

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XWE is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XWE in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZS* files.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with ZS* files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZS* file to open in the XWE application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZS* file with the XWE application.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XWE program, it is possible that XWE Data Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZS* file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZS* file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZS* or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZS* files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZS* files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZS* file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ZS* 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZS* 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
