How to open TCLOG file?

The main problem with TestComplete Log is that the TCLOG file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TCLOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TCLOG 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 TestComplete

In this case, you should first verify that the TestComplete application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TestComplete into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TCLOG files.

Programs to open TCLOG file

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

Step 2. Create association of TestComplete with TCLOG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TCLOG file to open in the TestComplete application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TCLOG file with the TestComplete program.

Step 3. Update TestComplete to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TestComplete program, it is possible that TestComplete Log requires a newer version of the program.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 SmartBear Software page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TCLOG 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TCLOG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TCLOG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TCLOG 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TCLOG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SmartBear Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TCLOG 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 TCLOG 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TCLOG file again. However, some background programs may block the TCLOG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
