Step 2. Create association of HydroCAD with HCC files

It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

In this case, use the HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HCC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HCC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HCC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HCC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HCC 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 HCC file. 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 HCC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use HydroCAD Software Solutions help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HCC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HCC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HCC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
