The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBL 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 DAZ Studio

Programs to open DBL file
Remember to download programs supporting DBL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DAZ Studio with DBL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBL file to open in the DAZ Studio application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 DAZ Studio application as the default for handling the DBL file.
Step 3. Update DAZ Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DAZ Studio program, it is possible that DAZ Brick Light Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the DAZ 3D Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DBL 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DBL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DBL 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 DBL 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DBL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DAZ Productions, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DBL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DBL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DBL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DBL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
