What is BDSGROUP file?

The file with the extension BDSGROUP is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. BDS Project Group appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Delphi. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open BDSGROUP file?

The most common problem when using BDS Project Group is that a specific BDSGROUP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDSGROUP 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 BDSGROUP 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 Delphi

The first step is to check if the computer has the Delphi program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Delphi in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BDSGROUP files.

Programs to open BDSGROUP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Delphi with BDSGROUP files

If, despite the installed application, the BDSGROUP file does not start in the Delphi application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BDSGROUP file with the Delphi program.

Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Delphi program with the BDS Project Group file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BDSGROUP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BDSGROUP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BDSGROUP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BDSGROUP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDSGROUP 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BDSGROUP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BDSGROUP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BDSGROUP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BDSGROUP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BDSGROUP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
