What is DPKW file?

The file with the extension DPKW is the Developer Files file type. The creator of this file is Embarcadero Technologies. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Delphi Package appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Delphi. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open DPKW file?

The most common problem when using Delphi Package is that a specific DPKW is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DPKW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPKW 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 Delphi

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

Programs to open DPKW file

Remember to download programs supporting DPKW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DPKW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DPKW file to open in the Delphi application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Delphi application as the default for handling the DPKW file.

Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version

If, however, after binding Delphi with Delphi Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

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

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DPKW file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DPKW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DPKW 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 DPKW file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DPKW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DPKW 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.
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 DPKW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DPKW 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.
