You need to install NPrinting Designer on the box where you want to edit template as well as Microsoft Office !!!


I believe you are having Scheduler and Engine installed only - aren't you?

btw. NPrinting 17 is recomended to have NPrinting Designer opened from user laptops and this also require each user to have NPrinting Designer localy installed.

The problem also occurs if I create an empty file and try to open (edit) it.

Check format of template and ms-office version installed on your system.

The pop-up window usually is coming up when system does not know what is the default program to open file.

I am thinking - maybe we could help your system to allocate right program to open nprinting template - so try do following thing:

  1. when seeing a pop-up - uncheck 'Immer diese App verwenden" - go to "More Apps" link on this window, scroll downlo until you see option "choose program from this computer" and then browse to: C:\Program Files (x86)\NPrinting\Designer and  choose "NPrintingDesigner.exe"

I am not sure whether this will work for you - but it is worth trying.

regards

Lech

That's unfurtunately what I've already tried. If i uncheck the only option is still to choose an app out of the window store.

Is this edit template the only possibility to develop a new report?

Hi Christian,

this seems like the Designer was not installed correctly - did not create the default program association.
Try reinstalling it and make sure you have full admin rights.
