What is PRI file?

The PRI file has been categorized as Developer Files. The creator of this file is Nokia. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Qt Project Include Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.

How to open PRI file?

The most common problem when using Qt Project Include Format is that a specific PRI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PRI, 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 PRI 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 Nokia Qt SDK

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nokia Qt SDK is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nokia Qt SDK in it. 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 PRI.

Programs to open PRI file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nokia Qt SDK with PRI files

If, despite the installed application, the PRI file does not start in the Nokia Qt SDK 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 Nokia Qt SDK application as the default for handling the PRI file.

Step 3. Update Nokia Qt SDK to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nokia Qt SDK program with the Qt Project Include Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRI file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The PRI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PRI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PRI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PRI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PRI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PRI files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PRI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PRI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PRI file again. 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.
