How to open NPT file?

The main problem with Navicat For MySQL Data Transfer Profile Format is that the NPT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NPT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NPT 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 Navicat for MySQL

The first step is to check if the computer has the Navicat for MySQL program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Navicat for MySQL in it. 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 NPT files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for MySQL with NPT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NPT file to open in the Navicat for MySQL application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NPT file with the Navicat for MySQL program.

Step 3. Update Navicat for MySQL to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Navicat for MySQL program, it is possible that Navicat For MySQL Data Transfer Profile Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to NPT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 NPT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NPT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NPT file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NPT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NPT 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 NPT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NPT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
