Sources of DCP Problems

Common DCP Opening Problems

Missing Delphi (IDE)

When trying to open your DCP file, you get the error "Can't Open DCP File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Delphi (IDE) missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your DCP file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DCP files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Delphi (IDE) Requires Update

Your Delphi Compiled Package file is incompatible with Delphi (IDE) because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Delphi (IDE) from Embarcadero Technologies is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Delphi Compiled Package file version that was created by a newer version of Delphi (IDE) than what you have installed on your PC.

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

Regardless, most of the DCP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Delphi (IDE) installed.

Other DCP File Opening Causes

Errors opening Delphi Compiled Package files can still occur even with the latest Delphi (IDE) software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening DCP files. Additional factors include:

• DCP file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry DCP description
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the DCP format
• File corruption affecting your DCP file
• DCP file integrity has been compromised by malware
• DCP-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Delphi Compiled Package file
