How to open RP file?

The main problem with Axure RP Project Format is that the RP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Axure RP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Axure RP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RP with Axure RP. Below you will find a list of applications that support RP files.

Programs to open RP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Axure RP with RP files

If, despite the installed application, the RP file does not start in the Axure RP 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 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RP file with the Axure RP program.

Step 3. Update Axure RP to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Axure RP program with the Axure RP Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Axure Software Solutions, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RP 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RP file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Axure Software Solutions
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
