How to open ECP file?
The main problem with EasyC Project Format is that the ECP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ECP 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 ECP 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 easyC
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that easyC is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing easyC into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ECP files.
Programs to open ECP file
Remember to download programs supporting ECP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of easyC with ECP files
If, despite the installed application, the ECP file does not start in the easyC application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the easyC application as the default for handling the ECP file.
Step 3. Update easyC to the latest version
If, despite the association of the easyC program with the EasyC Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ECP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ECP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ECP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ECP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ECP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ECP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ECP 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 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 ECP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ECP 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. However, some background programs may block the ECP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
