What is TCH file?
The TCH file has been categorized as Document Files. It was designed by Micro Focus International plc. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. Borland C++ Help appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Borland C++ application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Micro Focus International plc.
How to open TCH file?
The most common problem when using Borland C++ Help is that a specific TCH is not associated with the program. This causes the file TCH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TCH 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 Borland C++
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Borland C++ is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Borland C++ into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TCH.
Programs to open TCH file
Remember to download programs supporting TCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with TCH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TCH file still does not use the Borland C++ program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Borland C++ application as the default for handling the TCH file.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Borland C++ program, it is possible that Borland C++ Help requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Micro Focus International plc page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TCH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TCH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TCH 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 TCH files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TCH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Micro Focus International plc, 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 TCH 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TCH file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TCH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TCH file again. However, some background programs may block the TCH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
