Step 1. Install RPM Package Manager

Step 2. Create association of RPM Package Manager with RPMNEW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RPMNEW file still does not use the RPM Package Manager program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 RPM Package Manager application as the default for handling the RPMNEW file.

If, despite the association of the RPM Package Manager program with the RPM Package Manager Package Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RPMNEW file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RPMNEW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RPMNEW 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.
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 RPMNEW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RPMNEW 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RPMNEW to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RPMNEW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RPMNEW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
