How to open BEXPK file?
The most common problem when using PGP Binary Extracted Public Key is that a specific BEXPK is not associated with the program. This causes the file BEXPK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BEXPK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Pretty Good Privacy
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pretty Good Privacy is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Pretty Good Privacy in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BEXPK files.
Programs to open BEXPK file
Remember to download programs supporting BEXPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pretty Good Privacy with BEXPK files
If, despite the installed application, the BEXPK file does not start in the Pretty Good Privacy application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BEXPK file with the Pretty Good Privacy application.
Step 3. Update Pretty Good Privacy to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pretty Good Privacy with PGP Binary Extracted Public Key there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BEXPK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BEXPK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BEXPK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BEXPK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BEXPK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BEXPK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PGP Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BEXPK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BEXPK file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BEXPK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BEXPK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
