Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics AX with ALI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ALI file still does not use the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it means no 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 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.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics AX to the latest version

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALI 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 ALI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ALI file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ALI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ALI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ALI 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ALI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ALI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ALI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ALI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ALI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
