Understanding CHECK Issues


Issues Opening CHECK Files

CASTEP Isn't There

Double-clicking your CHECK file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open CHECK File". If so, it typically means that you don't have CASTEP installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your CHECK with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


CASTEP Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of CASTEP won't support your CASTEP Check Binary Data file. If you do not have the proper version CASTEP (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. Most of the time your CASTEP Check Binary Data file was created by a newer CASTEP than what you have installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your CHECK file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of CHECK file opening issues are due to not having the correct CASTEP version installed.


Additional CHECK Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right CASTEP version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening CHECK files. If you are still having problems opening CHECK files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:

  • Something has caused file corruption of your CHECK
  • Malware-tainted CHECK file can't be opened
