The LPI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LPI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LPI file on each system platform.
What is LPI file?
The LPI file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Free Pascal Lazarus Project Information is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Lazarus to handle this file. This is a program created by Free Pascal team.
How to open LPI file?
An often recurring problem with Free Pascal Lazarus Project Information is that LPI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LPI 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 LPI 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 Lazarus
The first step is to check if the computer has the Lazarus program installed. This can be achieved by typing Lazarus into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LPI with Lazarus. Below you will find a list of applications that support LPI files.
Programs to open LPI file
Remember to download programs supporting LPI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lazarus with LPI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LPI file still does not use the Lazarus program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LPI file with the Lazarus program.
Step 3. Update Lazarus to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Lazarus program with the Free Pascal Lazarus Project Information file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Free Pascal team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LPI 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 LPI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LPI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 LPI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LPI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LPI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LPI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LPI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LPI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LPI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LPI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LPI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
