How to open BDSPROJ file?

The main problem with BDS Project Format is that the BDSPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BDSPROJ, 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 BDSPROJ 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 Embarcadero Delphi

In this case, you should first verify that the Embarcadero Delphi application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Embarcadero Delphi 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 BDSPROJ with Embarcadero Delphi. Below is a list of programs that support the file BDSPROJ.

Programs to open BDSPROJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Embarcadero Delphi with BDSPROJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BDSPROJ file still does not use the Embarcadero Delphi program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BDSPROJ file with the Embarcadero Delphi application.

Step 3. Update Embarcadero Delphi to the latest version

If, however, after binding Embarcadero Delphi with BDS Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BDSPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BDSPROJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDSPROJ 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 BDSPROJ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BDSPROJ files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BDSPROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the BDSPROJ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BDSPROJ to close. However, some background programs may block the BDSPROJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
