The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GCA4BASE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GCA4BASE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GCA4BASE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GCA4BASE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GCA4BASE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GCA4BASE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
