How to open NRE file?

An often recurring problem with Nero CD EXTRA Compilation is that NRE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NRE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NRE 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 Nero Multimedia Suite

The first step is to check if the computer has the Nero Multimedia Suite program installed. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NRE files.

Programs to open NRE file

Remember to download programs supporting NRE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NRE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NRE file still does not use the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NRE file with the Nero Multimedia Suite program.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it is possible that Nero CD EXTRA Compilation requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRE 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 NRE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NRE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NRE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NRE 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NRE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nero AG help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NRE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NRE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NRE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NRE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NRE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
