How to open ICFG file?
The most common problem when using Aristotle Interprocedural Control Flow Graph Format is that a specific ICFG is not associated with the program. This causes the file ICFG 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 ICFG 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 Aristotle
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Aristotle is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Aristotle in it.

Programs to open ICFG file
Remember to download programs supporting ICFG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Aristotle with ICFG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ICFG file to open in the Aristotle application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ICFG file with the Aristotle program.
Step 3. Update Aristotle to the latest version
If, however, after binding Aristotle with Aristotle Interprocedural Control Flow Graph 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 University of Nebraska page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICFG 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ICFG 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ICFG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ICFG 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 ICFG 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ICFG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 ICFG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the ICFG 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ICFG file again. However, some background programs may block the ICFG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
