What is INMS file?

The file with the extension INMS is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Adobe Systems. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Adobe InDesign Menu Set Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Adobe Creative Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

How to open INMS file?

The most common problem when using Adobe InDesign Menu Set Format is that a specific INMS is not associated with the program. This causes the file INMS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INMS 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 Adobe Creative Suite

In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Creative Suite application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adobe Creative Suite into the system search engine. 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 INMS files.

Programs to open INMS file

Remember to download programs supporting INMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Creative Suite with INMS files

If, despite the installed application, the INMS file does not start in the Adobe Creative Suite 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INMS file with the Adobe Creative Suite program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Creative Suite to the latest version

If, however, after binding Adobe Creative Suite with Adobe InDesign Menu Set 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INMS 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 INMS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the INMS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INMS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the INMS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INMS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file INMS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move INMS 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the INMS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
