How to open PRNX file?
The main problem with XtraReports Report is that the PRNX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PRNX 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 PRNX 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 XtraReports
In this case, you should first verify that the XtraReports application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XtraReports in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PRNX files.
Programs to open PRNX file
Remember to download programs supporting PRNX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XtraReports with PRNX files
If, despite the installed application, the PRNX file does not start in the XtraReports application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PRNX file with the XtraReports application.
Step 3. Update XtraReports to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XtraReports program with the XtraReports Report file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Developer Express Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRNX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PRNX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PRNX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PRNX 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 PRNX 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PRNX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Developer Express Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PRNX 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PRNX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PRNX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRNX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
