How to open MPTMZ file?

An often recurring problem with OpenMPT Module Format is that MPTMZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MPTMZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPTMZ 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 OpenMPT

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OpenMPT is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing OpenMPT into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MPTMZ with OpenMPT. Below is a list of programs that support the file MPTMZ.

Step 2. Create association of OpenMPT with MPTMZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MPTMZ file still does not use the OpenMPT program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MPTMZ file with the OpenMPT application.

Step 3. Update OpenMPT to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the OpenMPT program, it is possible that OpenMPT Module Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ModPlug Central website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPTMZ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MPTMZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MPTMZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MPTMZ 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 MPTMZ files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MPTMZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MPTMZ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MPTMZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MPTMZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
