What is GHC file?
The file with the extension GHC is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Visual Basic Constant Map is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Visual Basic. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the GHC file. The Adobe RoboHelp programs will also handle the file when the Microsoft Visual Basic program does not fulfill its role.
How to open GHC file?
The most common problem when using Visual Basic Constant Map is that a specific GHC is not associated with the program. This causes the file GHC 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 GHC 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 Microsoft Visual Basic
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Basic program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Basic into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GHC files.
Programs to open GHC file
Remember to download programs supporting GHC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Basic with GHC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GHC file still does not use the Microsoft Visual Basic 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. 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 GHC file with the Microsoft Visual Basic program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Basic to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Basic program with the Visual Basic Constant Map file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GHC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GHC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GHC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GHC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GHC 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GHC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GHC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GHC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GHC 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 GHC to close. However, some background programs may block the GHC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
