Troubleshooting Problems Opening ALT Files


Issues Opening ALT Files

Microsoft Dynamics AX Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open ALT Files" when trying to open your ALT. When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Dynamics AX missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your ALT with Microsoft Dynamics AX, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Dynamics AX installed, and you know of another program to open your ALT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Microsoft Dynamics AX is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Dynamics AX won't support your Dynamics AX Temporary File file. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Dynamics AX if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Dynamics AX Temporary File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Dynamics AX than you have on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your ALT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Regardless, most of the ALT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Dynamics AX installed.


Other Causes of ALT File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Dynamics AX version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening ALT files. If you're still experiencing problems opening ALT files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • ALT file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the ALT file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your ALT
  • Your ALT has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware related to ALTs has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Dynamics AX Temporary File file
