What is BORLAND file?

The BORLAND file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is Micro Focus International plc. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Borland C Makefile is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Borland C++. This was created by Micro Focus International plc.

How to open BORLAND file?

The most common problem when using Borland C Makefile is that a specific BORLAND is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BORLAND, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BORLAND 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 Borland C++

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Borland C++ is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Borland C++ into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BORLAND files.

Programs to open BORLAND file

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

Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with BORLAND files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BORLAND file to open in the Borland C++ 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Borland C++ application as the default for handling the BORLAND file.

Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Borland C++ program, it is possible that Borland C Makefile requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BORLAND file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 BORLAND or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BORLAND files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BORLAND files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BORLAND files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Micro Focus International plc, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BORLAND 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BORLAND file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BORLAND file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BORLAND file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
