Common Problems Opening ISTR Files

IsoStar Library of Intermolecular Interactions is Not Installed

When you double-click your ISTR file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have IsoStar Library of Intermolecular Interactions for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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: If you know of another program that can open your ISTR file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a IsoStar Library of Intermolecular Interactions file that is unsupported by your installed application version.
