The TPK file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TPK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TPK file on each system platform.
What is TPK file?
The file with the extension TPK is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is The Linux Foundation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Tizen Application Package is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on , Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Tizen to handle this file. This is a program created by The Linux Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs. The Tizen SDK, POLARIS App Generator programs will also handle the file when the Tizen program does not fulfill its role.
How to open TPK file?
The main problem with Tizen Application Package is that the TPK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TPK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TPK 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 Tizen
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Tizen is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Tizen into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TPK with Tizen. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TPK files.
Programs to open TPK file
Remember to download programs supporting TPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tizen with TPK files
If, despite the installed application, the TPK file does not start in the Tizen 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Tizen application as the default for handling the TPK file.
Step 3. Update Tizen to the latest version
If, however, after binding Tizen with Tizen Application Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Linux Foundation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPK 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:
The TPK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the TPK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TPK file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TPK 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 TPK 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 TPK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Linux Foundation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TPK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TPK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 TPK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
