Troubleshoot ICE Files


Frequent ICE Opening Issues

ALZip Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open ICE Files" when trying to open your ICE. If so, it typically means that you don't have ALZip installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your ICE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you don't have ALZip installed, and you know of another program to open your ICE file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of ALZip is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a ICE File Archive file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest ALZip version from the ESTsoft website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your ICE File Archive file was created by a newer ALZip than what you have installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the ICE file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


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


Other ICE File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of ALZip will resolve your issue. Other ICE opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • ICE file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry ICE description
  • Corrupt install of ALZip or other ICE-related program
  • Your ICE can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The ICE is infected with a virus
  • Hardware associated with ICE has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your ICE File Archive file
