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.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the NWCAB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NWCAB file. However, remember that not every infected NWCAB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NWCAB 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NWCAB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Neat Company
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NWCAB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NWCAB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NWCAB 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 NWCAB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NWCAB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
