File extension .VMSG

File description

VMSG file (abbreviated as VMware File) extension is another computer file format that has the capability to store plain text in ASCII format. Considered as the VMware Tools Application messaging file, it offers a lot of facilities that can be installed in virtual machines. Users can easily store, open and edit them in different text editors.

VMSG file extensions are made compatible with Microsoft Windows OS (with software VMware Workstation) since they are associated with VMware Workstation virtualization software. The files are particularly designed for troubleshooting and analysis. Users will, therefore, have to install certain software because it is a special file extension that does not work with every OS and program. It is important to make the PC compatible with VMSG files before going to use the extension.

With XML file extension, the task of importing XML (Extensible Markup Language) data has become easier. It is a database that is created by other applications in order to address the XML components from a XML schemato worksheet cells.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .VMSG file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .VMSG extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .VMSG file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .VMSG file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .VMSG file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .VMSG file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .VMSG file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .VMSG file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .VMSG file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .VMSG file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
