What is GBK file?

The GBK file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Delphi Runimage Iblocal Examples Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open GBK file?

The main problem with Delphi Runimage Iblocal Examples Format is that the GBK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GBK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GBK 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 Delphi

In this case, you should first verify that the Delphi application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Delphi into the 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 GBK files.

Programs to open GBK file

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

Step 2. Create association of Delphi with GBK files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GBK file still does not use the Delphi program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GBK file with the Delphi program.

Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Delphi program, it is possible that Delphi Runimage Iblocal Examples Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The GBK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GBK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GBK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GBK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GBK files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GBK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Embarcadero Technologies
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBK 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. If possible, you can try to move the GBK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GBK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
