Unable to open .omv file (file is not a zip file)

Post by dnrm »

Hi,
While trying to open an existing .omv file I get the following message:
"Unable to open file, File is not a zip file". There were no problems opening the file till now.
Any advice? the only previous forum entry with this message was not relevant.
Thanks!

this normally means that this is a file which has mistakenly been given the .omv file extension (by a human), but in your case it sounds as though the file is corrupt .... this can happen for a variety of reasons, and there's typically not much that can be done about it unfortunately.
