How to open BDE file?

The main problem with Pro/ENGINEER Temporary is that the BDE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BDE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDE 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 Pro/Engineer

The first step is to check if the computer has the Pro/Engineer program installed. To do this, enter the name Pro/Engineer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BDE.

Step 2. Create association of Pro/Engineer with BDE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDE file to open in the Pro/Engineer application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 BDE file with the Pro/Engineer application.

Step 3. Update Pro/Engineer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Pro/Engineer program, it is possible that Pro/ENGINEER Temporary requires a newer version of the program.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The BDE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BDE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BDE file. Sometimes virus-infected BDE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDE file. 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 BDE files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BDE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BDE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BDE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
