The P5P file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the P5P files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the P5P file on each system platform.
What is P5P file?
The file in the P5P format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System Format is most often found on 1 operating systems.

It was released by Oracle Corporation.
How to open P5P file?
The main problem with Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System Format is that the P5P file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that P5P files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P5P 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 Solaris
In this case, you should first verify that the Solaris application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Solaris in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file P5P with Solaris. Below you will find a list of applications that support P5P files.
Programs to open P5P file
Remember to download programs supporting P5P files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Solaris with P5P files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the P5P file to open in the Solaris application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 Solaris application as the default for handling the P5P file.
Step 3. Update Solaris to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Solaris program, it is possible that Oracle Solaris Image Packaging System Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P5P 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to P5P files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 P5P file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected P5P file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the P5P 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 P5P files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P5P 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the P5P file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the P5P file again. 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.
