Troubleshooting Problems Opening LYT Files
Troubles Opening LYT Files
Missing Adminsoft
You attempt to load your LYT file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LYT File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Adminsoft for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your LYT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens LYT files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Outdated Adminsoft
Your Adminsoft Document Layout File file is incompatible with Adminsoft because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Adminsoft from Adminsoft is recommended. Your Adminsoft Document Layout File file was probably created by a newer release of Adminsoft than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your LYT file and clicking "Properties".
Conclusion: The majority of LYT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Adminsoft version installed.
