How to open NDD file?

An often recurring problem with Nikon Capture Digital DEE is that NDD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NDD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NDD 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 Nikon Capture

In this case, you should first verify that the Nikon Capture application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nikon Capture into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support NDD files.

Programs to open NDD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture with NDD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NDD file to open in the Nikon Capture application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NDD file with the Nikon Capture program.

Step 3. Update Nikon Capture to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Nikon Capture program, it is possible that Nikon Capture Digital DEE requires a newer version of the program.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NDD 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NDD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NDD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NDD 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 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 NDD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NDD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NDD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
