How to open NMC file?
An often recurring problem with ArcGIS Explorer Map Content Format is that NMC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NMC 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 NMC 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 ArcGIS Explorer
In this case, you should first verify that the ArcGIS Explorer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArcGIS Explorer in it. 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 NMC.

Remember to download programs supporting NMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Explorer with NMC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NMC file still does not use the ArcGIS Explorer 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 NMC file with the ArcGIS Explorer application.
Step 3. Update ArcGIS Explorer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArcGIS Explorer program with the ArcGIS Explorer Map Content Format 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 Esri page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NMC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NMC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NMC file. However, remember that not every infected NMC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NMC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NMC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ESRI
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NMC 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 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 NMC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NMC to close. However, some background programs may block the NMC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
