YMP File Complications
Troubles Opening YMP Files
YaST is Not Installed
You attempt to load your YMP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The YMP File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to YaST missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your YMP with YaST, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: If you don't have YaST installed, and you know of another program to open your YMP file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Incorrect YaST Version
In other instances, your YaST Metapackage File file version may not be supported by your version of YaST. If you've got the wrong version of YaST installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of YMP file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of YMP file opening issues are due to not having the correct YaST version installed.
Other YMP File Opening Causes
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of YaST will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening YMP files. Additional factors include:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for YMP
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry YMP description
- Defective install of a YMP program, such as YaST
- YMP file corruption
- Malware-tainted YMP file can't be opened
- Hardware associated with YMP has outdated drivers
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the YaST Metapackage File file
