What is GIP file?
The file in the GIP format belongs to the Archive Files category. The creator of this file is Ethanole Solutions. Additionally, the Archive Files category contains 619 of other files. Ghost Installer Package is most often found on 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 Ghost Installer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Ethanole Solutions.
How to open GIP file?
An often recurring problem with Ghost Installer Package is that GIP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GIP, 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 GIP 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 Ghost Installer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ghost Installer program installed. To do this, enter the name Ghost Installer into the system search engine. 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 GIP files.
Programs to open GIP file
Remember to download programs supporting GIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ghost Installer with GIP files
If, despite the installed application, the GIP file does not start in the Ghost Installer application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GIP file with the Ghost Installer application.
Step 3. Update Ghost Installer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ghost Installer program with the Ghost Installer Package file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Ethanole Solutions website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GIP 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 GIP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GIP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GIP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GIP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GIP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GIP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ethanole Solutions, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GIP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the GIP 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
