How to open KEX file?
The main problem with KEDIT Profile Macro is that the KEX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KEX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KEX 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 Kedit
In this case, you should first verify that the Kedit application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Kedit 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KEX files.
Programs to open KEX file
Remember to download programs supporting KEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kedit with KEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KEX file still does not use the Kedit program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Kedit application as the default for handling the KEX file.
Step 3. Update Kedit to the latest version
If, however, after binding Kedit with KEDIT Profile Macro there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mansfield Software Group, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KEX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The KEX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KEX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KEX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected KEX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of KEX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KEX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mansfield Software Group, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KEX 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 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 KEX file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
