How to open HCFG file?

An often recurring problem with HoDokK Configuration is that HCFG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HCFG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HCFG 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 HoDoKu

In this case, you should first verify that the HoDoKu application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HoDoKu into the operating 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 HCFG files.

Programs to open HCFG file

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

Step 2. Create association of HoDoKu with HCFG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HCFG file still does not use the HoDoKu program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HCFG file with the HoDoKu application.

Step 3. Update HoDoKu to the latest version

If, however, after binding HoDoKu with HoDokK Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the HoDoKu Team page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HCFG 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 HCFG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HCFG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 HCFG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HCFG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HCFG file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 HCFG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use HoDoKu Team help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HCFG except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HCFG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HCFG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HCFG file again. However, some background programs may block the HCFG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
