How to open FIC file?

The most common problem when using WinDev Hyper Format Database is that a specific FIC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FIC 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 FIC 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 WinDev

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinDev is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinDev 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support FIC files.

Step 2. Create association of WinDev with FIC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FIC file still does not use the WinDev 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinDev application as the default for handling the FIC file.

Step 3. Update WinDev to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WinDev program, it is possible that WinDev Hyper Format Database requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PC SOFT page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FIC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FIC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FIC 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 FIC 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FIC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PC SOFT
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FIC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FIC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FIC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FIC to close. However, some background programs may block the FIC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
