What is DTSX file?
The file with the extension DTSX is the Database Files file type. The creator of this file is Microsoft. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. DTS Settings Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Microsoft SQL Server to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open DTSX file?
The main problem with DTS Settings Format is that the DTSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DTSX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTSX 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 SQL Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft SQL Server program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft SQL Server 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 DTSX files.
Programs to open DTSX file
Remember to download programs supporting DTSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server with DTSX files
If, despite the installed application, the DTSX file does not start in the Microsoft SQL Server 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft SQL Server application as the default for handling the DTSX file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft SQL Server with DTS Settings Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 DTSX 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 DTSX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DTSX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 DTSX file. Sometimes virus-infected DTSX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DTSX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DTSX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTSX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DTSX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 DTSX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
