The DPL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DPL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DPL file on each system platform.
What is DPL file?
The DPL file has been categorized as Developer Files. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Delphi Package Library appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. The DPL Digital Photo Librarian programs will also handle the file when the Delphi program does not fulfill its role.
How to open DPL file?
The most common problem when using Delphi Package Library is that a specific DPL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DPL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Delphi is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Delphi into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DPL files.
Programs to open DPL file
Remember to download programs supporting DPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DPL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DPL file still does not use the Delphi program, it means no 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 Delphi application as the default for handling the DPL file.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Delphi program with the Delphi Package Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DPL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DPL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DPL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DPL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DPL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DPL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DPL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DPL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
