How to open RCP file?
The most common problem when using Rich Chart Builder Project is that a specific RCP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that RCP 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 RCP 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 Rich Chart Builder

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RCP.
Programs to open RCP file
Remember to download programs supporting RCP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rich Chart Builder with RCP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RCP file still does not use the Rich Chart Builder program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RCP file with the Rich Chart Builder application.
Step 3. Update Rich Chart Builder to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rich Chart Builder with Rich Chart Builder Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Pacific Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RCP 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. This suggests truncating the RCP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RCP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RCP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 RCP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Pacific Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RCP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RCP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RCP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RCP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
