What is RH file?

The RH file has been categorized as Developer Files. The creator of this file is Microsoft Corporation. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. C++ Resource Header is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Visual C++. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. The Borland C++ programs will also handle the file when the Visual C++ program does not fulfill its role.

How to open RH file?

An often recurring problem with C++ Resource Header is that RH is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RH 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 Visual C++

The first step is to check if the computer has the Visual C++ program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Visual C++ in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RH with Visual C++. Below is a list of programs that support the file RH.

Programs to open RH file

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

Step 2. Create association of Visual C++ with RH files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RH file still does not use the Visual C++ 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RH file with the Visual C++ program.

Step 3. Update Visual C++ to the latest version

If, however, after binding Visual C++ with C++ Resource Header there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

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

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RH file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RH file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RH file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 RH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 RH file to another location.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
