How to open DMI file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DMI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install BYOND
The first step is to check if the computer has the BYOND program installed. This can be achieved by typing BYOND into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DMI with BYOND.

Programs to open DMI file
Remember to download programs supporting DMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BYOND with DMI files
If, despite the installed application, the DMI file does not start in the BYOND application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DMI file with the BYOND application.
Step 3. Update BYOND to the latest version
If, however, after binding BYOND with BYOND Dream Maker Icon Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BYOND page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DMI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DMI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DMI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DMI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DMI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use BYOND help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DMI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DMI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
