What is DPROJ file?

The file in the DPROJ format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Delphi Project is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Delphi application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open DPROJ file?

An often recurring problem with Delphi Project is that DPROJ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DPROJ, 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 DPROJ 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. This can be achieved by typing Delphi into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DPROJ with Delphi. Below you will find a list of applications that support DPROJ files.

Programs to open DPROJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DPROJ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DPROJ 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. 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 DPROJ 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 DPROJ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPROJ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 DPROJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DPROJ 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DPROJ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DPROJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DPROJ file again. However, some background programs may block the DPROJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
