Troubleshoot BDSPROJ Files
Troubles Opening BDSPROJ Files
Borland C++ Not Present
When trying to open your BDSPROJ file, you get the error "Can't Open BDSPROJ File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Borland C++ for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your BDSPROJ with Borland C++, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another BDSPROJ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect Borland C++ Version
Sometimes your installed version of Borland C++ won't support your Borland Developer Studio Project file. If you do not have the proper version Borland C++ (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Borland Developer Studio Project file was created by a newer version of Borland C++ than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your BDSPROJ file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening BDSPROJ files are due to having the incorrect version of Borland C++ installed on your computer.
