Troubleshooting Problems Opening OUT Files
Troubles Opening OUT Files
Linux Isn't There
If you attempt to load your OUT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open OUT Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Linux for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your OUT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another OUT application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of Linux is Installed
In other instances, your Compiled Executable File file version may not be supported by your version of Linux. If you do not have the proper version Linux (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Most of the time your Compiled Executable File file was created by a newer Linux than what you have installed.
Tip: Right-clicking on your OUT, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening OUT files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
