How to open NEXE file?
An often recurring problem with Chrome Native Client Executable is that NEXE is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NEXE, 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 NEXE 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 Google Chrome
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Google Chrome is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Google Chrome into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NEXE.
Programs to open NEXE file
Remember to download programs supporting NEXE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Chrome with NEXE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NEXE file still does not use the Google Chrome 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NEXE file with the Google Chrome application.
Step 3. Update Google Chrome to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Chrome program with the Chrome Native Client Executable file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Google Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NEXE 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 NEXE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 NEXE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NEXE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NEXE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NEXE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Google, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NEXE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the NEXE file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NEXE file again. 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.
