How to open BNK file?
The main problem with Test Drive Unlimited Data Package is that the BNK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BNK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BNK 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 TDU Modding Tools
In this case, you should first verify that the TDU Modding Tools application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TDU Modding Tools into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BNK with TDU Modding Tools.

Programs to open BNK file
Remember to download programs supporting BNK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TDU Modding Tools with BNK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BNK file to open in the TDU Modding Tools application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BNK file with the TDU Modding Tools application.
Step 3. Update TDU Modding Tools to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TDU Modding Tools program, it is possible that Test Drive Unlimited Data Package requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BNK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BNK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BNK file. Sometimes virus-infected BNK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BNK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BNK file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BNK 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BNK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BNK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BNK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
