TRN File Complications


Common Problems Opening TRN Files

Missing Microsoft SQL Server

When you double-click your TRN file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft SQL Server isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your TRN because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Obsolete Version of Microsoft SQL Server

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a SQL Server Transaction Log Backup File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft SQL Server if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your SQL Server Transaction Log Backup File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft SQL Server than what's installed.


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


Conclusion: The majority of TRN file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft SQL Server version installed.


Other TRN File Issues

Errors opening SQL Server Transaction Log Backup File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft SQL Server software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading TRN files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Invalid TRN file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry TRN description
  • Defective install of a TRN program, such as Microsoft SQL Server
  • Your TRN file is corrupted (issues with your SQL Server Transaction Log Backup File file itself)
  • Your TRN has adversely impacted by malware
  • TRN-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your SQL Server Transaction Log Backup File file
