Error message: Failed to open document, file corrupt

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Starting about 2 weeks ago I sometime receive the error: "Failed to open document, file corrupt" when opening a QVD from the Accesspoint. We use IE7 with the IE plugin. When I reboot I can often open the document again. Today another user reported the same problem. Anyone got any experience with this?

Hi Anja,

Not sure if you are still active on the site - was this issue ever resolved? Our clients are experiencing the same thing when trying to open a file that works perfectly well on my machine.

Hi there - I've just experienced this on a clients server and a stop start of the services sorted it out. That was in QV11 SR2 (11414).

I had a similar error with some QVW files after a QV9 to QV11 upgrade. I had to recreate the QVW files by exporting/importing the layout.

Not sure if it's related though.
