How to open CNK file?
The main problem with Microsoft Dynamics GP Chunk is that the CNK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CNK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CNK 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 Microsoft Dynamics GP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 CNK with Microsoft Dynamics GP. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CNK files.
Programs to open CNK file
Remember to download programs supporting CNK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics GP with CNK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CNK file to open in the Microsoft Dynamics GP application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Dynamics GP application as the default for handling the CNK file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics GP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Dynamics GP program with the Microsoft Dynamics GP Chunk file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CNK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CNK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CNK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CNK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CNK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CNK 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CNK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CNK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CNK file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CNK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
