RTK File Complications
Frequent RTK Opening Issues
Adobe RoboHelp Removed
Double-clicking your RTK file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open RTK File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe RoboHelp missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your RTK file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Adobe RoboHelp is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of Adobe RoboHelp won't support your Adobe RoboHelp Configuration File file. Download the latest Adobe RoboHelp version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your Adobe RoboHelp Configuration File file was created by a newer version of Adobe RoboHelp than you have on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the RTK file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening RTK files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe RoboHelp installed.
Additional RTK Opening Issues
Errors opening Adobe RoboHelp Configuration File files can still occur even with the latest Adobe RoboHelp software installed on your computer. Other RTK opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for RTK
- Corruption of the RTK file description inside the Registry
- Invalid installation of a RTK-associated program (eg. Adobe RoboHelp)
- Something has caused file corruption of your RTK
- Malware-tainted RTK file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with RTK software need to be updated
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Adobe RoboHelp Configuration File files
