It was released by Christian Bauer.
How to open BII file?
The main problem with Basilisk II Data Format is that the BII file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BII 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 BII 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 Basilisk II
In this case, you should first verify that the Basilisk II application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Basilisk II 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 you will find a list of applications that support BII files.
Programs to open BII file
Remember to download programs supporting BII files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Basilisk II with BII files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BII file to open in the Basilisk II application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Basilisk II application as the default for handling the BII file.
Step 3. Update Basilisk II to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Basilisk II program, it is possible that Basilisk II Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Christian Bauer page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BII 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BII 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 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BII file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BII 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 BII files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BII file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BII 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BII to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BII file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BII file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BII file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
