How to open ~CP file?

The most common problem when using Borland C++ Builder Source Backup is that a specific ~CP is not associated with the program. This causes the file ~CP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ~CP 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++

The first step is to check if the computer has the Borland C++ program installed. This can be achieved by typing Borland C++ into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ~CP with Borland C++. Below is a list of programs that support the file ~CP.

Programs to open ~CP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with ~CP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ~CP 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ~CP file with the Borland C++ application.

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The fault may also lie with the Borland C++ program, it is possible that Borland C++ Builder Source Backup requires a newer version of the program.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 ~CP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ~CP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ~CP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ~CP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ~CP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ~CP files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ~CP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Micro Focus International plc
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ~CP 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ~CP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ~CP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ~CP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ~CP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
