How to open PSMDCP file?

The main problem with NuGet Metadata Format is that the PSMDCP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PSMDCP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSMDCP 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NuGet is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NuGet into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PSMDCP files.

Programs to open PSMDCP file

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

Step 2. Create association of NuGet with PSMDCP files

If, despite the installed application, the PSMDCP file does not start in the NuGet 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSMDCP file with the NuGet application.

Step 3. Update NuGet to the latest version

If, however, after binding NuGet with NuGet Metadata Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Outercurve Foundation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSMDCP 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:

The PSMDCP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSMDCP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PSMDCP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PSMDCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PSMDCP 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PSMDCP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PSMDCP 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 PSMDCP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSMDCP file again. However, some background programs may block the PSMDCP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
