DZI File Complications


Issues Opening DZI Files

Missing Microsoft PhotoSynth

Double-clicking your DZI file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open DZI File". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft PhotoSynth for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your DZI with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another DZI application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Outdated Microsoft PhotoSynth

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a PhotoSynth Deep Zoom Image File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Microsoft PhotoSynth version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your PhotoSynth Deep Zoom Image File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft PhotoSynth than you have on your PC.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of DZI file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening DZI files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
