How to open CAPROJ file?
The main problem with Construct Project Format is that the CAPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CAPROJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CAPROJ 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 Construct
In this case, you should first verify that the Construct application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Construct into the operating system search engine. 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 CAPROJ files.
Programs to open CAPROJ file
Remember to download programs supporting CAPROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Construct with CAPROJ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CAPROJ file to open in the Construct application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CAPROJ file with the Construct program.
Step 3. Update Construct to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Construct program, it is possible that Construct Project Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Scirra.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CAPROJ 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CAPROJ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CAPROJ file. Sometimes virus-infected CAPROJ 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 CAPROJ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CAPROJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Scirra help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CAPROJ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CAPROJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CAPROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CAPROJ file again. However, some background programs may block the CAPROJ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
