This is manifested by the fact that SMPKG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

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

Step 2. Create association of SmartMusic for Students with SMPKG files

If, despite the installed application, the SMPKG file does not start in the SmartMusic for Students 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SMPKG file with the SmartMusic for Students program.

Step 3. Update SmartMusic for Students to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SmartMusic for Students program, it is possible that SmartMusic Package Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MakeMusic, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMPKG file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 SMPKG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SMPKG file. However, remember that not every infected SMPKG 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 SMPKG 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 ability to automatically repair SMPKG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SMPKG 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SMPKG file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SMPKG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
