How to open ACLX file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACLX 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 InstallShield

Programs to open ACLX file
Remember to download programs supporting ACLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of InstallShield with ACLX files
If, despite the installed application, the ACLX file does not start in the InstallShield application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ACLX file with the InstallShield application.
Step 3. Update InstallShield to the latest version
If, however, after binding InstallShield with InstallShield Analysis App Project 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 Flexera Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACLX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The ACLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ACLX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACLX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ACLX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ACLX files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ACLX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ACLX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ACLX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ACLX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ACLX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
