How to open EBP file?

An often recurring problem with Pocket PC Windows CE Project is that EBP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EBP 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 EBP 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 Windows Mobile

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Mobile is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Mobile into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EBP with Windows Mobile. Below is a list of programs that support the file EBP.

Programs to open EBP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Mobile with EBP files

If, despite the installed application, the EBP file does not start in the Windows Mobile application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EBP file with the Windows Mobile program.

Step 3. Update Windows Mobile to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Windows Mobile program, it is possible that Pocket PC Windows CE Project requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EBP 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EBP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EBP 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 EBP file. 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.
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 EBP 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EBP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EBP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EBP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EBP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
