What is BPR file?

The file in the BPR format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Embarcadero Technologies. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Borland C++Builder Project Format 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 C++ Builder to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open BPR file?

An often recurring problem with Borland C++Builder Project Format is that BPR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BPR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPR 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 C++ Builder

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that C++ Builder is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing C++ Builder into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BPR files.

Programs to open BPR file

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

Step 2. Create association of C++ Builder with BPR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BPR file still does not use the C++ Builder 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 C++ Builder application as the default for handling the BPR file.

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

The fault may also lie with the C++ Builder program, it is possible that Borland C++Builder Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The BPR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BPR file. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BPR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BPR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BPR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 BPR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BPR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BPR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BPR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BPR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
