| Microsoft App-V Sequencer Format | Microsoft | Misc Files |
The SFT file extension is associated with the Microsoft App-V Sequencer. It is a software product used to package applications so they can be deployed to a virtual Windows environment and accessed by remote users. The purpose of the SFT files is to package up any customizations that have been made to the application, as well as the actual executable components.
This includes the requirement components, such as the registry settings, shortcuts, configuration files, and any other files needed by the application in order to run properly. An SFT file contains all of those elements packaged together into a single file. Once an application has been packaged with Microsoft App-V Sequencer, it can then be distributed or uploaded to various virtual environments for users to access remotely. Once an SFT file is created, it can be accessed by using additional software such as Microsoft App-V Client, which will unpack and extract the contents of the file.

Files that are similar to SFT, generally used for software packaging, include: .APPV, .MSP, and .MSI.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SFT) 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 .SFT 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 .SFT 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 .SFT 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 .SFT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SFT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SFT 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 .SFT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SFT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SFT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
