Troubleshooting Problems Opening NAL Files

Frequent NAL Opening Issues

Missing ZENworks Suite

If you attempt to load your NAL file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open NAL Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have ZENworks Suite installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your NAL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your NAL, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Incorrect ZENworks Suite Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Novell ZENworks Suite Network Delivered Application Shortcut File Format file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of ZENworks Suite if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Novell ZENworks Suite Network Delivered Application Shortcut File Format file was created by a different (newer) version of ZENworks Suite than what's installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your NAL, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening NAL files are due to having the incorrect version of ZENworks Suite installed on your computer.
