Troubleshoot DRES Files


Frequent DRES Opening Issues

Delphi (IDE) Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open DRES Files" when trying to open your DRES. Usually, this is because you do not have Delphi (IDE) for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your DRES with Delphi (IDE), so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When another DRES application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Incorrect Delphi (IDE) Version

It is possible that your version of Delphi (IDE) isn't able to open your Delphi Compiled Resource File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Delphi (IDE) version from the Embarcadero Technologies website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Delphi Compiled Resource File file was created by a different (newer) version of Delphi (IDE) than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DRES file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening DRES files are due to having the incorrect version of Delphi (IDE) installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading DRES Files

Even with the correct version of Delphi (IDE) installed, you can still experience difficulties opening DRESs. If you are still having problems opening DRES files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These issues include:

  • Windows Registry DRES file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry DRES description
  • Partial installation of Delphi (IDE) that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your DRES
  • Malware-tainted DRES file can't be opened
  • Device drivers for DRES-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Delphi Compiled Resource File file

Poll: Do you use a computer or mobile device more often to view files?
