The DPR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DPR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DPR file on each system platform.
What is DPR file?
The DPR file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Delphi Project appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open DPR file?
An often recurring problem with Delphi Project is that DPR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DPR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPR 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Delphi application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Delphi 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DPR files.
Programs to open DPR file
Remember to download programs supporting DPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DPR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DPR file still does not use the Delphi program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DPR file with the Delphi application.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
If, however, after binding Delphi with Delphi Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DPR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DPR 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 DPR files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DPR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, 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 file DPR 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DPR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DPR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DPR file again. However, some background programs may block the DPR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
