How to open NSPI file?

The main problem with Navicat For SQL Server Import Wizard Profile is that the NSPI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NSPI 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 NSPI 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 SQL Server

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Navicat for SQL Server is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Navicat for SQL Server into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NSPI with Navicat for SQL Server. Below is a list of programs that support the file NSPI.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for SQL Server with NSPI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NSPI file still does not use the Navicat for SQL Server program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Navicat for SQL Server application as the default for handling the NSPI file.

Step 3. Update Navicat for SQL Server to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Navicat for SQL Server program with the Navicat For SQL Server Import Wizard Profile file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 NSPI file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 NSPI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NSPI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected NSPI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NSPI 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 NSPI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSPI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NSPI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NSPI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
