How to open RXE file?
The main problem with Lego Mindstorms NXT Executable Program is that the RXE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RXE 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 RXE 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 LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RXE with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. Below is a list of programs that support the file RXE.
Programs to open RXE file
Remember to download programs supporting RXE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with RXE files
If, despite the installed application, the RXE file does not start in the LEGO MINDSTORMS 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RXE file with the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT program.
Step 3. Update LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT to the latest version
If, however, after binding LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with Lego Mindstorms NXT Executable Program there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LEGO Group website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RXE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RXE 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. 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 RXE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RXE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RXE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 ability to automatically repair RXE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The LEGO Group help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RXE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RXE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RXE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RXE to close. However, some background programs may block the RXE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
