The ~DE file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ~DE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ~DE file on each system platform.
What is ~DE file?
The file with the extension ~DE is the Archive Files file type. The creator of this file is Micro Focus International plc. Additionally, the Archive Files category contains 619 of other files. Borland C++ Project Backup is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Borland C++ application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Micro Focus International plc.
How to open ~DE file?
The most common problem when using Borland C++ Project Backup is that a specific ~DE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ~DE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ~DE 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 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 ~DE.
Programs to open ~DE file
Remember to download programs supporting ~DE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with ~DE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ~DE file to open in the Borland C++ 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 ~DE 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++ Project Backup requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ~DE 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ~DE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ~DE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ~DE 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 ~DE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ~DE 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ~DE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ~DE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ~DE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ~DE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ~DE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
