What is TCP file?

The file in the TCP format belongs to the Executable Files category. It was designed by Tally Solutions. In addition to this file, the Executable Files category includes 140 related files. Tally Compiled Program Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open TCP file?

The main problem with Tally Compiled Program Format is that the TCP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TCP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TCP 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 Tally.ERP

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Tally.ERP is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Tally.ERP into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TCP with Tally.ERP. Below you will find a list of applications that support TCP files.

Programs to open TCP file

Remember to download programs supporting TCP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Tally.ERP with TCP files

If, despite the installed application, the TCP file does not start in the Tally.ERP application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TCP file with the Tally.ERP application.

Step 3. Update Tally.ERP to the latest version

If, however, after binding Tally.ERP with Tally Compiled Program Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TCP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TCP file. Sometimes virus-infected TCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TCP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TCP file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TCP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TCP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TCP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TCP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
