Understanding RUN Issues

Frequent RUN Opening Issues

Missing Linux

When trying to open your RUN file, you get the error "Can't Open RUN File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Linux for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your RUN file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Linux Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Linux isn't able to open your Linux Executable File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Linux installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Linux Executable File file was created by a newer version of Linux than you have on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your RUN file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening RUN files are due to having the incorrect version of Linux installed on your computer.

Associated Difficulties Loading RUN Files

You can still experience errors opening RUN files even with the latest version of Linux installed on your PC. If you are continuing to have errors with loading RUN files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• Windows Registry RUN file paths that are incorrect
• Accidental deletion of the description of the RUN file in the Windows registry
• Corrupt install of Linux or other RUN-related program
• Your RUN file is corrupted (issues with your Linux Executable File file itself)
• Past or present virus infection has affected your RUN
• Hardware associated with RUN has outdated drivers
• Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Linux Executable File file
