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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NFI 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:
The NFI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NFI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NFI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NFI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NFI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 NFI files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NFI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NFI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NFI file again. However, some background programs may block the NFI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
