How to open KCI file?
An often recurring problem with Visual Studio .NET DB Project Indexing Settings is that KCI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that KCI 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 KCI 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file KCI.
Programs to open KCI file
Remember to download programs supporting KCI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with KCI files
If, despite the installed application, the KCI file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Visual Studio application as the default for handling the KCI file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Visual Studio with Visual Studio .NET DB Project Indexing Settings there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KCI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The KCI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KCI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 KCI file. However, remember that not every infected KCI 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 KCI 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KCI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KCI 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. If possible, you can try to move the KCI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the KCI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the KCI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
