How to open CDP2 file?

The main problem with Trainz Classics Content Dispatcher Pack 2 is that the CDP2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CDP2 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 CDP2 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 Trainz Classics

The first step is to check if the computer has the Trainz Classics program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Trainz Classics in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CDP2 with Trainz Classics. Below you will find a list of applications that support CDP2 files.

Step 2. Create association of Trainz Classics with CDP2 files

If, despite the installed application, the CDP2 file does not start in the Trainz Classics application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CDP2 file with the Trainz Classics program.

Step 3. Update Trainz Classics to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Trainz Classics program, it is possible that Trainz Classics Content Dispatcher Pack 2 requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CDP2 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 suggests truncating the CDP2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 CDP2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDP2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CDP2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 CDP2 files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CDP2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 CDP2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 CDP2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
