Files in the CVA format are classified as settings files and are affixed with the .cva extension. These CVA files are also called HP Systems Software Manager information files. Some settings files are used by associated applications developed to manage data transmissions and firmware updates of hardware components and other supported devices connected to the computer. Hewlett-Packard developed the CVA format for files used by the HP Systems Software Manager application, and this software provides users with automatic and manual features for updating firmware software or driver applications of connected devices. Support for different languages integrated into a compatible device is also updated by the HP Systems Software Manager program. The content stored in these CVA files is mostly details of the version update among other pieces of information. Code is also implemented into these CVA files that can be executed to initialize the setup program for the update corresponding to the CVA file. These CVA files are stored and packaged as "SoftPack" updates distributed by HP.how to open a .cva file?

Be careful not to rename the extension on .cva files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .cva. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
