The BCC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BCC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BCC file on each system platform.
What is BCC file?
The BCC file has been categorized as Data Files. The creator of this file is Embarcadero Technologies. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Borland C++ Format/makefile is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Visual C++ to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use Borland C++ in case Visual C++ cannot be used.
How to open BCC file?
The most common problem when using Borland C++ Format/makefile is that a specific BCC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BCC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCC 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 Visual C++
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual C++ application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visual C++ into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BCC.
Programs to open BCC file
Remember to download programs supporting BCC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual C++ with BCC files
If, despite the installed application, the BCC file does not start in the Visual C++ application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BCC file with the Visual C++ application.
Step 3. Update Visual C++ to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual C++ program with the Borland C++ Format/makefile file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BCC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BCC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BCC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BCC files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BCC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BCC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BCC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCC to close. However, some background programs may block the BCC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
