How to open PP1 file?
The main problem with Free Pascal Compiled Unit Data Format is that the PP1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PP1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PP1 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 Free Pascal
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Free Pascal is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Free Pascal 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 PP1 with Free Pascal. Below is a list of programs that support the file PP1.
Programs to open PP1 file
Remember to download programs supporting PP1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Free Pascal with PP1 files
If, despite the installed application, the PP1 file does not start in the Free Pascal application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 PP1 file with the Free Pascal program.
Step 3. Update Free Pascal to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Free Pascal program, it is possible that Free Pascal Compiled Unit Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Free Pascal team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PP1 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PP1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PP1 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PP1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PP1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PP1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PP1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PP1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PP1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PP1 file again. However, some background programs may block the PP1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
