How to open GBAS file?
The main problem with GLBasic Source Format is that the GBAS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GBAS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GBAS 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 GLBasic SDK
The first step is to check if the computer has the GLBasic SDK program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GLBasic SDK in it. 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 GBAS files.
Programs to open GBAS file
Remember to download programs supporting GBAS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GLBasic SDK with GBAS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GBAS file still does not use the GLBasic SDK program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GBAS file with the GLBasic SDK program.
Step 3. Update GLBasic SDK to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GLBasic SDK program, it is possible that GLBasic Source Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GBAS 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 GBAS file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GBAS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GBAS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GBAS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GBAS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBAS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GBAS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GBAS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
