How to open BOOTSTRAP file?
The main problem with Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming Bootstrap is that the BOOTSTRAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BOOTSTRAP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BOOTSTRAP 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 HTTP Dynamic Streaming
The first step is to check if the computer has the HTTP Dynamic Streaming program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name HTTP Dynamic Streaming in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BOOTSTRAP files.
Programs to open BOOTSTRAP file
Remember to download programs supporting BOOTSTRAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HTTP Dynamic Streaming with BOOTSTRAP files
If, despite the installed application, the BOOTSTRAP file does not start in the HTTP Dynamic Streaming application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BOOTSTRAP file with the HTTP Dynamic Streaming program.
Step 3. Update HTTP Dynamic Streaming to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HTTP Dynamic Streaming program with the Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming Bootstrap file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BOOTSTRAP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BOOTSTRAP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BOOTSTRAP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BOOTSTRAP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BOOTSTRAP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 BOOTSTRAP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BOOTSTRAP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BOOTSTRAP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BOOTSTRAP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
