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

Programs to open RBT file
Remember to download programs supporting RBT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT with RBT files
If, despite the installed application, the RBT file does not start in the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RBT file with the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT program.
Step 3. Update LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT program, it is possible that Lego MINDSTORMS NXT Program requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RBT 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 RBT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RBT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 RBT file. However, remember that not every infected RBT 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 RBT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RBT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RBT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RBT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RBT to close. However, some background programs may block the RBT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
