Troubles Opening NTR Files
NetRun Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open NTR Files" when trying to open your NTR. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have NetRun for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the NTR file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you don't have NetRun installed, and you know of another program to open your NTR file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
NetRun is Out-of-Date
It is possible that your version of NetRun isn't able to open your Netrun Executable List file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of NetRun from Open Source is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Netrun Executable List file was created by a different (newer) version of NetRun than what's installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your NTR file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening NTR files are due to having the wrong version of NetRun installed.
Other Causes of NTR File Opening Problems
Errors opening Netrun Executable List files can still occur even with the latest NetRun software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening NTR files. These issues include:
- Invalid NTR file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry NTR description
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the NTR format
- Your NTR can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Your NTR is infected with malware
- Hardware related to NTRs has device driver corruption
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Netrun Executable List format
