Nomad Software Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open NOM Files" when trying to open your NOM. Usually, this is because you do not have Nomad Software for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your NOM with Nomad Software, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: Another NOM-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
