Microsoft Software Update Format | Microsoft | System Files |
The file extension .RTP is used by Microsoft to indicate software update files. Usually, .RTP files are compressed archives but may consist of plain text as well. These files contain information about products, languages, and service packs released by Microsoft. This file format can contain instructions, a registry patch, a system file replacement, service packs, update rollups, or language packs.
.RTP files are essential files for the proper functioning of several Microsoft products like Office, Windows, SQL Server, and many more. The file structure used within these archives depends on the Microsoft product family category. The internal structure may vary from simple structures to complex ones.

Other similar file extensions include .MSI, .CAB, .MSP, and .MST.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RTP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RTP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RTP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RTP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RTP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RTP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RTP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RTP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RTP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RTP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
