Understanding SMZIP Issues


Troubles Opening SMZIP Files

StepMania Disappeared

When trying to open your SMZIP file, you get the error "Can't Open SMZIP File Type". Customarily, this means that StepMania is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your SMZIP, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


StepMania Requires Update

In other instances, your StepMania Package file version may not be supported by your version of StepMania. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of StepMania. Your StepMania Package file was probably created by a newer release of StepMania than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Regardless, most of the SMZIP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of StepMania installed.


Other SMZIP File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of StepMania will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening SMZIP files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:

  • SMZIP file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The SMZIP file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the SMZIP format
  • Your SMZIP file is corrupted (issues with your StepMania Package file itself)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your SMZIP
  • Device drivers for SMZIP-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your StepMania Package file successfully
