How to open DEVPAK file?
The most common problem when using Dev-C++ Developer Package is that a specific DEVPAK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DEVPAK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEVPAK 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. To do this, enter the name Dev-C++ into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DEVPAK with Dev-C++. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DEVPAK files.
Programs to open DEVPAK file
Remember to download programs supporting DEVPAK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dev-C++ with DEVPAK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DEVPAK file still does not use the Dev-C++ program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DEVPAK file with the Dev-C++ application.
Step 3. Update Dev-C++ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Dev-C++ program, it is possible that Dev-C++ Developer Package requires a newer version of the program.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 Bloodshed page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEVPAK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DEVPAK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DEVPAK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DEVPAK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DEVPAK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DEVPAK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DEVPAK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bloodshed
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DEVPAK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DEVPAK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DEVPAK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
