How to open RBP file?

An often recurring problem with Real Studio Project Format is that RBP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RBP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RBP 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 Real Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the Real Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Real Studio 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 RBP files.

Programs to open RBP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Real Studio with RBP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RBP file to open in the Real Studio 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RBP file with the Real Studio application.

Step 3. Update Real Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Real Studio program, it is possible that Real Studio Project Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RBP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RBP 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RBP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RBP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RBP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RBP file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RBP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RBP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
