The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XTP2 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 Microsoft InfoPath

Programs to open XTP2 file
Remember to download programs supporting XTP2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft InfoPath with XTP2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XTP2 file still does not use the Microsoft InfoPath program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XTP2 file with the Microsoft InfoPath program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft InfoPath to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft InfoPath program, it is possible that Microsoft InfoPath Template Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTP2 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 XTP2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XTP2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XTP2 file. Sometimes virus-infected XTP2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XTP2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XTP2 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 XTP2 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the XTP2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XTP2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XTP2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
