How to open MC file?

The main problem with Microsoft Windows Localized Message Table Resource is that the MC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MC 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 Visual C++

In this case, you should first verify that the Visual C++ application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual C++ into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MC files.

Programs to open MC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Visual C++ with MC files

If, despite the installed application, the MC file does not start in the Visual C++ application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. 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 MC file with the Visual C++ program.

Step 3. Update Visual C++ to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Visual C++ program, it is possible that Microsoft Windows Localized Message Table Resource requires a newer version of the program. 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 MC file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MC 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged MC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
