How to open AIFB file?
An often recurring problem with AIF Builder Project Format is that AIFB is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AIFB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AIFB 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 Symbian AIF Builder
The first step is to check if the computer has the Symbian AIF Builder program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Symbian AIF Builder in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AIFB with Symbian AIF Builder. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AIFB files.
Programs to open AIFB file
Remember to download programs supporting AIFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Symbian AIF Builder with AIFB files
If, despite the installed application, the AIFB file does not start in the Symbian AIF Builder 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Symbian AIF Builder application as the default for handling the AIFB file.
Step 3. Update Symbian AIF Builder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Symbian AIF Builder program with the AIF Builder Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AIFB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AIFB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AIFB file. However, remember that not every infected AIFB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AIFB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AIFB file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AIFB 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.
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 AIFB to a different directory.
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 this does not work either, restart the device.
