The XRP file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the XRP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the XRP file on each system platform.
What is XRP file?
The file in the XRP format belongs to the Data Files category. The author of this format is Stand By Soft. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. RationalPlan Project Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is RationalPlan. This was created by Stand By Soft Ltd.. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the XRP file.
How to open XRP file?
The most common problem when using RationalPlan Project Format is that a specific XRP is not associated with the program. This causes the file XRP 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 XRP 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 RationalPlan
In this case, you should first verify that the RationalPlan application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RationalPlan into the operating 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 XRP files.
Programs to open XRP file
Remember to download programs supporting XRP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RationalPlan with XRP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XRP file to open in the RationalPlan 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XRP file with the RationalPlan program.
Step 3. Update RationalPlan to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RationalPlan program, it is possible that RationalPlan Project Format 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 Stand By Soft Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XRP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The XRP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XRP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XRP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XRP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XRP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XRP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stand By Soft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XRP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XRP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XRP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XRP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XRP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
