What is CPK file?
The file in the CPK format belongs to the Data Files category. The creator of this file is Microsoft. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. DTM Test Log Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The DTM Log Viewer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. The Microsoft Winqual Submission Tool programs will also handle the file when the DTM Log Viewer program does not fulfill its role.
How to open CPK file?
The main problem with DTM Test Log Format is that the CPK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CPK, 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 CPK 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 DTM Log Viewer
In this case, you should first verify that the DTM Log Viewer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DTM Log Viewer into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CPK files.
Programs to open CPK file
Remember to download programs supporting CPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DTM Log Viewer with CPK files
If, despite the installed application, the CPK file does not start in the DTM Log Viewer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DTM Log Viewer application as the default for handling the CPK file.
Step 3. Update DTM Log Viewer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DTM Log Viewer program with the DTM Test Log Format 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CPK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CPK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CPK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CPK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CPK 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 CPK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CPK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CPK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CPK 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CPK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CPK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
