Sources of EAP Problems

Issues Opening EAP Files

Enterprise Architect Disappeared

If you attempt to load your EAP file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open EAP Files". Customarily, this means that Enterprise Architect is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: Another EAP-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Incorrect Enterprise Architect Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Enterprise Architect Project file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Enterprise Architect if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a Enterprise Architect Project file version that was created by a newer version of Enterprise Architect than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your EAP file and clicking "Properties".

Conclusion: The majority of EAP file opening issues are due to not having the correct Enterprise Architect version installed.

Additional EAP Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening EAP files even with the latest version of Enterprise Architect installed on your PC. Other EAP opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

• Windows Registry EAP file paths that are incorrect
• Corruption of the EAP file description inside the Registry
• Invalid installation of a EAP-associated program (eg. Enterprise Architect)
• EAP file corruption
• Your EAP is infected with malware
• Drivers associated with EAP software need to be updated
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Enterprise Architect Project format
