What is ~H file?

The ~H file has been categorized as Archive Files. The creator of this file is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Additionally, the Archive Files category contains 619 of other files. Borland C++ Builder Backup Source appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is C++ Builder. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open ~H file?

The main problem with Borland C++ Builder Backup Source is that the ~H file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ~H, 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 ~H 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 C++ Builder

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that C++ Builder is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name C++ Builder in it. 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 ~H files.

Programs to open ~H file

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

Step 2. Create association of C++ Builder with ~H files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ~H file still does not use the C++ Builder program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 ~H file with the C++ Builder program.

Step 3. Update C++ Builder to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the C++ Builder program, it is possible that Borland C++ Builder Backup Source requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ~H file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ~H file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ~H file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ~H files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ~H 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ~H files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ~H files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 ~H to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ~H to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ~H file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
