The IDENTCACHE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the IDENTCACHE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the IDENTCACHE file on each system platform.
What is IDENTCACHE file?
The file with the extension IDENTCACHE is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Delphi Temporary Cache appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Delphi. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open IDENTCACHE file?
An often recurring problem with Delphi Temporary Cache is that IDENTCACHE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file IDENTCACHE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IDENTCACHE 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 Delphi
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Delphi is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Delphi 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 IDENTCACHE files.
Programs to open IDENTCACHE file
Remember to download programs supporting IDENTCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with IDENTCACHE files
If, despite the installed application, the IDENTCACHE file does not start in the Delphi 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. 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 IDENTCACHE file with the Delphi program.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Delphi program, it is possible that Delphi Temporary Cache requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IDENTCACHE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IDENTCACHE file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IDENTCACHE file. Sometimes virus-infected IDENTCACHE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IDENTCACHE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IDENTCACHE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IDENTCACHE 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the IDENTCACHE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IDENTCACHE 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.
