The .VMSG file extension is part of the family of application message files used by VMware. This type of file is created when a set action is performed in the software, such as a change in configuration or when a specific task is completed. It contains data related to the event along with the time it took place.
Technical details
The .VMSG file is logged within the application and has no identifiable characteristics outside of the VMware software itself. Although it contains information related to processes and tasks completed, it cannot be read outside of the application. Usually, there may be additional files that are stored at the same location but with different extensions, such as.BIN or.LOG. Similar file extensions related to VMware include .VMDK, .VSWP, .VMX, and .VPX.
Usage
When a specific task is completed, such as an upgrade, configuration change or uninstall process in VMware, a log file with the .VMSG extension is created. This file is helpful for users to understand what happened during application interactions and for troubleshooting purposes. The log maintains a running record of events and can provide additional insight if a problem occurs in the future.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VMSG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VMSG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VMSG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VMSG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VMSG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VMSG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VMSG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VMSG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VMSG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VMSG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
