How to open DEVPACKAGE file?
An often recurring problem with Dev-C++ Package Format is that DEVPACKAGE is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DEVPACKAGE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEVPACKAGE 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 Dev-C++
In this case, you should first verify that the Dev-C++ application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Dev-C++ 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support DEVPACKAGE files.
Programs to open DEVPACKAGE file
Remember to download programs supporting DEVPACKAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dev-C++ with DEVPACKAGE files
If, despite the installed application, the DEVPACKAGE file does not start in the Dev-C++ application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Dev-C++ application as the default for handling the DEVPACKAGE file.
Step 3. Update Dev-C++ to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dev-C++ program with the Dev-C++ Package Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Bloodshed website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEVPACKAGE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The DEVPACKAGE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DEVPACKAGE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DEVPACKAGE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DEVPACKAGE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DEVPACKAGE 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.
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 ability to automatically repair DEVPACKAGE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DEVPACKAGE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DEVPACKAGE file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DEVPACKAGE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DEVPACKAGE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
