What is CC file?

The file in the CC format belongs to the Developer Files category. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. C++ Source Code Format is supported by 4 operating systems. These systems consist of , Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Visual Studio. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 12 other programs. The Dev-C++, PSPad, C++ Builder, Visual C++ programs will also handle the file when the Microsoft Visual Studio program does not fulfill its role.

How to open CC file?

The main problem with C++ Source Code Format is that the CC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CC 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 CC 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 Microsoft Visual Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CC with Microsoft Visual Studio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CC files.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with CC files

If, despite the installed application, the CC file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Microsoft Visual Studio application as the default for handling the CC file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that C++ Source Code Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The CC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CC file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
