NVDA Add-ons installation problem
|
I don't know what version of NVDA you have installed, but as a diagnostic step I'd suggest uninstalling it, and reinstalling. And on the reinstall use NVDA 2021.3beta.
If that doesn't solve it, then we'd have to start digging into file associations by file extension, which should associate files with dot NVDA hyphen add-on extension with NVDA itself, and that should happen as part of a successful NVDA install. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard

In addition to Rui's question, is NVDA actually running when you do this? Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard

I've received this error on a couple of occasions where I double-clicked on an NVDA add-on file when I didn't have NVDA running. I realize that this is not likely to be your situation, but because it is within the realm of possibility, I had to ask. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard

Hi Rui and Gene,
Thanks four your replies. I am sorry for not mentioning the status of NVDA. NVDA is installed properly, as in from the .exe file. Gene, I will surely try the solution that you mentioned and will let you know.

NVDA is installed or portable?

While you wait for a possible solution, this workaround may allow you to
install add-ons. Don’t press enter on the add-on itself. Open the
NVDA menu, open tools, down arrow to manage adde-ons and press enter.
Then tab to the install button and press the space bar.
You are in a typical open dialog. Shift tab, I believe its twice, to
the files and folder’s list. Find the add-on and press enter.
I believe this will likely work because you are installing the add-on using
NVDA directly and not having Windows open the file first. You are
installing it as though you were using a portable version.

Subject: [nvda] NVDA Add-ons installation problem Respected NVDA Group,
While installing any NVDA Add-ons, I get the following error:
You will need a new app to open this .NVDA-addon file. Look for an app in the Microsoft Store.
The device that I am using is a HP Pavilion laptop upgraded to Windows 11. Please give your kind suggestion to solve this error.
