Sources of BPK Problems
Common BPK Opening Problems
Missing Nero 2017
Double-clicking your BPK file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open BPK File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Nero 2017 isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your BPK because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens BPK files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Obsolete Version of Nero 2017
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Nero 2017 installed that's incompatible with your Nero SecurDisc Public Key File type. Installing the latest version of Nero 2017 from Nero AG is recommended. Your Nero SecurDisc Public Key File file was probably created by a newer release of Nero 2017 than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your BPK file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening BPK files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Additional BPK Opening Issues
Although you might already have Nero 2017 or another BPK-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Nero SecurDisc Public Key File files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening BPKs. Problems unrelated to software:
- BPK file type Registry entries are wrong
- Unintentional removal of the description of the BPK file inside the Windows Registry
- Nero 2017 or another BPK application experienced a flawed installation
- Something has caused file corruption of your BPK
- Your BPK has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your BPK file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Nero SecurDisc Public Key File files
