How to open XMCT file?
The most common problem when using Mathcad XML Worksheet Template is that a specific XMCT is not associated with the program. This causes the file XMCT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMCT 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 Mathcad Prime
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mathcad Prime is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Mathcad Prime into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file XMCT.
Programs to open XMCT file
Remember to download programs supporting XMCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mathcad Prime with XMCT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XMCT file to open in the Mathcad Prime application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 XMCT file with the Mathcad Prime program.
Step 3. Update Mathcad Prime to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mathcad Prime program, it is possible that Mathcad XML Worksheet Template requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMCT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XMCT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMCT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XMCT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XMCT 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMCT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XMCT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the XMCT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XMCT to close. However, some background programs may block the XMCT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
