How to open SRX file?

An often recurring problem with SPARQL Query Results XML Format Result is that SRX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SRX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRX 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 NotePad++ text editor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NotePad++ text editor is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NotePad++ text editor 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 SRX with NotePad++ text editor. Below you will find a list of applications that support SRX files.

Programs to open SRX file

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

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with SRX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SRX file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the SRX file.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the SPARQL Query Results XML Format Result 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 Notepad++ Team website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The SRX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SRX 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SRX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SRX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SRX 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SRX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SRX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SRX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SRX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
