How to open DTPROJ file?

The main problem with SQL Integration Services Project is that the DTPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DTPROJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTPROJ 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 Business Intelligence Development Studio

The first step is to check if the computer has the Business Intelligence Development Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name Business Intelligence Development Studio into the 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 DTPROJ files.

Programs to open DTPROJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Business Intelligence Development Studio with DTPROJ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DTPROJ file to open in the Business Intelligence Development Studio 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DTPROJ file with the Business Intelligence Development Studio program.

Step 3. Update Business Intelligence Development Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Business Intelligence Development Studio program with the SQL Integration Services Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTPROJ 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DTPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DTPROJ file. However, remember that not every infected DTPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DTPROJ 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DTPROJ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DTPROJ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DTPROJ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DTPROJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DTPROJ to close. However, some background programs may block the DTPROJ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
