ASV File Complications

Common Problems Opening ASV Files

Finale is Not Installed

You attempt to load your ASV file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ASV File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Finale isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your ASV with Finale, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your ASV file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Wrong Version of Finale is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Finale won't support your Finale Auto-save File file. You will need to download a newer version of Finale if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Finale Auto-save File file was created by a different (newer) version of Finale than what's installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your ASV, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Conclusion: The majority of ASV file opening issues are due to not having the correct Finale version installed.

Additional ASV Opening Issues
