How to open INPX file?

An often recurring problem with PTV Vissim Network is that INPX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file INPX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INPX 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 PTV Vissim

In this case, you should first verify that the PTV Vissim application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PTV Vissim 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 INPX files.

Programs to open INPX file

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

Step 2. Create association of PTV Vissim with INPX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INPX file to open in the PTV Vissim 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INPX file with the PTV Vissim program.

Step 3. Update PTV Vissim to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PTV Vissim program with the PTV Vissim Network 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 PTV Group page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INPX 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the INPX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 INPX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected INPX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of INPX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INPX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use PTV Group help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file INPX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the INPX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the INPX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INPX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INPX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
