Troubles Opening UPS Files

MultiPatch patching tool is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open UPS Files" when trying to open your UPS. When this happens, it is commonly due to MultiPatch patching tool missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

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

Outdated MultiPatch patching tool

In other instances, your UPS Patch File file version may not be supported by your version of MultiPatch patching tool. If you've got the wrong version of MultiPatch patching tool installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your UPS Patch File file was created by a newer version of MultiPatch patching tool than you have on your PC.

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

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening UPS files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
