How to open FACTORYPATH file?

The main problem with Eclipse Factorypath is that the FACTORYPATH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FACTORYPATH, 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 FACTORYPATH 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 Eclipse

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Eclipse is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Eclipse 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 FACTORYPATH files.

Programs to open FACTORYPATH file

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

Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with FACTORYPATH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FACTORYPATH file still does not use the Eclipse program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Eclipse application as the default for handling the FACTORYPATH file.

Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Eclipse program with the Eclipse Factorypath file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Eclipse Foundation website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FACTORYPATH file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FACTORYPATH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FACTORYPATH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FACTORYPATH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FACTORYPATH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Eclipse Foundation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FACTORYPATH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FACTORYPATH to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FACTORYPATH file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
