Troubleshooting Problems Opening CCC Files
Common CCC Opening Problems
Dev-C++ is Not Installed
If you attempt to load your CCC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open CCC Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Dev-C++ installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your CCC with Dev-C++, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your CCC file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Outdated Dev-C++
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Dev-C++ Code Completion Cache file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Dev-C++ version from the Bloodshed Software website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your Dev-C++ Code Completion Cache file was created by a newer version of Dev-C++ than you have on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the CCC file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening CCC files are due to having the incorrect version of Dev-C++ installed on your computer.
More Causes of Problems Opening CCCs
Even with the correct version of Dev-C++ installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CCCs. Other CCC opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Windows Registry CCC file paths that are incorrect
- Accidental deletion of the description of the CCC file in the Windows registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the CCC format
- File corruption affecting your CCC file
- The CCC is infected with a virus
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your CCC file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Dev-C++ Code Completion Cache file
