The BUILDER file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BUILDER files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BUILDER file on each system platform.
What is BUILDER file?
The BUILDER file has been categorized as Developer Files. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Builder Script is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Middleman. This was created by Thomas Reynolds. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the BUILDER file. Sublime Text will apply when it is not possible to use Middleman.
How to open BUILDER file?
The main problem with Builder Script is that the BUILDER file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BUILDER, 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 BUILDER 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 Middleman
In this case, you should first verify that the Middleman application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Middleman into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BUILDER files.
Programs to open BUILDER file
Remember to download programs supporting BUILDER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Middleman with BUILDER files
If, despite the installed application, the BUILDER file does not start in the Middleman 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BUILDER file with the Middleman program.
Step 3. Update Middleman to the latest version
If, however, after binding Middleman with Builder Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Thomas Reynolds website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BUILDER file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BUILDER files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BUILDER file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BUILDER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BUILDER 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BUILDER file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BUILDER files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BUILDER file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BUILDER file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
