What is BML file?

The file with the extension BML is the Web Files file type. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. Bean Markup Language Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. Alternatively, you can use 7 other programs. The TextEdit, Windows Notepad, Nvu, NotePad++ text editor programs will also handle the file when the Web browser program does not fulfill its role.

How to open BML file?

The main problem with Bean Markup Language Format is that the BML file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BML, 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 BML 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 Web browser

The first step is to check if the computer has the Web browser program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Web browser in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BML with Web browser. Below is a list of programs that support the file BML.

Step 2. Create association of Web browser with BML files

If, despite the installed application, the BML file does not start in the Web browser 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BML file with the Web browser program.

Step 3. Update Web browser to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Web browser program with the Bean Markup Language 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 BML file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The BML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BML file. However, remember that not every infected BML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BML file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BML file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BML 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 BML to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BML file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
