Just looking at the contents of that file it has very little to do with a VI and contains all kinds of garbage instead.

Do you have a link to that "restoration" program? Are you sure it is legitimate and not some malware?

Just from looking at the "cnet" on the link, I can tell you there's a very fat chance said software is, at best fake, at worst malware. Cnet has a pretty terrible reputation for filling their victims' computers with malware and worst, if the file was recoverable at some point, the software almost certainly damaged it beyond repair. Best choice would be looking at diagram with debug (if possible) and recreate from there.

Thanks for the link. So this is just a generic uneraser, not anything specific to VIs or LabVIEW. These rely on the assumption that the relevant disk area has not been re-used, so the chances of recovery drop significantly with time, how full the disk is, defragmentation activity, encryption, and such. I guess you are out of luck.
