What is NSH file?
The NSH file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is Nullsoft. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. NSIS Header Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. You can use Text editor, Eclipse in case NSIS cannot be used.
How to open NSH file?
The main problem with NSIS Header Format is that the NSH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NSH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSH 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 NSIS
The first step is to check if the computer has the NSIS program installed. To do this, enter the name NSIS into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support NSH files.
Programs to open NSH file
Remember to download programs supporting NSH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NSIS with NSH files
If, despite the installed application, the NSH file does not start in the NSIS application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NSH file with the NSIS program.
Step 3. Update NSIS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NSIS program, it is possible that NSIS Header Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The NSH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NSH 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NSH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NSH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NSH files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NSH file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NSH 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.
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. It is best to move NSH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 NSH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NSH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
