Sources of ADD Problems
Common ADD Opening Problems
Microsoft Dynamics AX Disappeared
When trying to open your ADD file, you get the error "Can't Open ADD File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Dynamics AX for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the ADD file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When another ADD application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of Microsoft Dynamics AX is Installed
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Dynamics AX installed that's incompatible with your Dynamics AX Developer Documentation File type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics AX. Your Dynamics AX Developer Documentation File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Dynamics AX than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your ADD file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening ADD files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Dynamics AX installed on your computer.
Additional ADD Opening Issues
You can still experience errors opening ADD files even with the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics AX installed on your PC. Other ADD opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:
- Invalid ADD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry ADD description
- Microsoft Dynamics AX or another ADD application experienced a flawed installation
- Your ADD can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- The ADD is infected with a virus
- ADD-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Dynamics AX Developer Documentation File files
