Programs to open KR file
Remember to download programs supporting KR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Appian platform with KR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KR file still does not use the Appian platform program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KR file with the Appian platform application.
Step 3. Update Appian platform to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Appian platform program, it is possible that Appian Server Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Appian page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected KR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KR file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the KR 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KR to close. However, some background programs may block the KR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
