How to open NUGET file?
The most common problem when using NuGet Package is that a specific NUGET is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NUGET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NUGET 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 NuGet
In this case, you should first verify that the NuGet application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NuGet into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file NUGET.
Programs to open NUGET file
Remember to download programs supporting NUGET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NuGet with NUGET files
If, despite the installed application, the NUGET file does not start in the NuGet application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NuGet application as the default for handling the NUGET file.
Step 3. Update NuGet to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NuGet program, it is possible that NuGet Package requires a newer version of the program.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 Outercurve Foundation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NUGET 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NUGET file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NUGET file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NUGET 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 NUGET files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NUGET file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Outercurve Foundation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NUGET 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NUGET to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NUGET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NUGET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NUGET file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
