The CBX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CBX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CBX file on each system platform.
What is CBX file?
The CBX file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Rational XDE is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Rational XDE to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open CBX file?
The main problem with Rational XDE is that the CBX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CBX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CBX 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 Rational XDE
The first step is to check if the computer has the Rational XDE program installed. To do this, enter the name Rational XDE into the 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 CBX files.
Programs to open CBX file
Remember to download programs supporting CBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rational XDE with CBX files
If, despite the installed application, the CBX file does not start in the Rational XDE application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 CBX file with the Rational XDE program.
Step 3. Update Rational XDE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Rational XDE program, it is possible that Rational XDE 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 IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CBX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CBX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CBX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CBX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CBX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CBX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CBX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CBX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CBX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
