How to open IBP file?

An often recurring problem with IsoBuster Managed Image Information Format is that IBP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IBP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IBP 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 IsoBuster

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IsoBuster is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IsoBuster into the operating 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 IBP files.

Programs to open IBP file

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

Step 2. Create association of IsoBuster with IBP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IBP file to open in the IsoBuster application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IsoBuster application as the default for handling the IBP file.

Step 3. Update IsoBuster to the latest version

If, however, after binding IsoBuster with IsoBuster Managed Image Information Format 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 Smart Projects page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IBP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IBP 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IBP file. Sometimes virus-infected IBP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IBP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IBP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Smart Projects help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IBP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IBP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IBP 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 IBP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
