How to open AHI file?

The main problem with Microsoft Dynamics AX Online Help Index Format is that the AHI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AHI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AHI 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 Microsoft Dynamics AX

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Dynamics AX program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Dynamics AX into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file AHI.

Programs to open AHI file

Remember to download programs supporting AHI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics AX with AHI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AHI file still does not use the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Dynamics AX application as the default for handling the AHI file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics AX to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it is possible that Microsoft Dynamics AX Online Help Index Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AHI file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The AHI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AHI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AHI file. However, remember that not every infected AHI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AHI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AHI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AHI except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the AHI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AHI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
