How to open ICONPACKAGE file?

The most common problem when using IconPackager Theme Format is that a specific ICONPACKAGE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ICONPACKAGE 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 ICONPACKAGE 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 IconPackager

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

Programs to open ICONPACKAGE file

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

Step 2. Create association of IconPackager with ICONPACKAGE files

If, despite the installed application, the ICONPACKAGE file does not start in the IconPackager application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ICONPACKAGE file with the IconPackager program.

Step 3. Update IconPackager to the latest version

If, despite the association of the IconPackager program with the IconPackager Theme Format 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 Stardock Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICONPACKAGE 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 ICONPACKAGE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ICONPACKAGE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ICONPACKAGE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ICONPACKAGE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ICONPACKAGE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ICONPACKAGE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ICONPACKAGE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ICONPACKAGE 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ICONPACKAGE to close. However, some background programs may block the ICONPACKAGE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
