MCB file extension
The MCB file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MCB files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MCB file on each system platform.
What is MCB file?
The file with the extension MCB is the Misc Files file type. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. NEPLAN Project is supported by 1 operating systems. 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 NEPLAN. This was created by NEPLAN.
How to open MCB file?
An often recurring problem with NEPLAN Project is that MCB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MCB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MCB 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 NEPLAN
The first step is to check if the computer has the NEPLAN program installed. To do this, enter the name NEPLAN 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 you will find a list of applications that support MCB files.
Programs to open MCB file
Remember to download programs supporting MCB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NEPLAN with MCB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MCB file still does not use the NEPLAN 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 select the desired program. 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 MCB file with the NEPLAN program.
Step 3. Update NEPLAN to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NEPLAN program, it is possible that NEPLAN Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the NEPLAN website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCB 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MCB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MCB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MCB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MCB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MCB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MCB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MCB to a different directory.
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. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
