How to open NICNT file?
The most common problem when using Native Instruments KONTAKT Library is that a specific NICNT is not associated with the program. This causes the file NICNT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NICNT 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 KONTAKT
The first step is to check if the computer has the KONTAKT program installed. This can be achieved by typing KONTAKT into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NICNT files.
Programs to open NICNT file
Remember to download programs supporting NICNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KONTAKT with NICNT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NICNT file still does not use the KONTAKT program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NICNT file with the KONTAKT program.
Step 3. Update KONTAKT to the latest version
If, despite the association of the KONTAKT program with the Native Instruments KONTAKT Library 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 Native Instruments, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NICNT 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 NICNT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NICNT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NICNT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NICNT 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NICNT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Native Instruments, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NICNT 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 NICNT 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NICNT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
