ECP File Extension

How to open ECP file?

After double-clicking on the unknown file icon, the system should open it in the default software that supports it. If this does not happen, download and install the easyC software and then manually associate the file with it.

Step 1. Download and install easyC

If there is no easyC or similar software in the system that supports files with the ECP extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with ECP. After going to the subpage of the program you will find a link to the developer's website, where you can safely download the software installer.

Step 2. Associate easyC with the ECP file extension

If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension ECP. This can be done in two ways - one is to manually edit the Windows Registry and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys. The second way is simpler and definitely recommended for less advanced users.

• Right click on the unknown ECP file you want to open
• Select "Open with" from the menu
• Click "Choose another application"
• Click "More applications"
• Click "Find more applications on this PC" and indicate the installation location of the appropriate program
• Finally, select the "Always use the selected program to open ECP files" option and confirm the whole operation.

Remember! Manually editing the system registry is only recommended for advanced users, and changes made to it without proper knowledge may result in damage to the system.

Step 3. Check out other possible problems related to ECP files.

Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the ECP files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.

• Check if the ECP file is not infected - When the file ECP is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the ECP file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
• Check if you, as the operating system user, have appropriate permissions to work with the file ECP
• Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the ECP file no longer exists.
• Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the easyC application and open the ECP file.
• Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the ECP file was not copied completely from the external Flash memory, or downloaded from the Internet. When the file is incomplete, it is not possible to open it correctly. In this case, please download or copy the file ECP again.

Step 4. Contact an IT expert

When all of the above methods have failed, it remains to contact an IT specialist or developers of the EASYC program.
