Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Step 3. Update Linux Mint Installer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Linux Mint Installer program, it is possible that Linux Mint Installer Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MINT file

The MINT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MINT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MINT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MINT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MINT 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MINT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MINT 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. It is best to move MINT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MINT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
