What is DIL file?

The file in the DIL format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Delphi is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open DIL file?

An often recurring problem with Delphi is that DIL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DIL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DIL 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 Delphi

In this case, you should first verify that the Delphi application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Delphi into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DIL with Delphi. Below you will find a list of applications that support DIL files.

Programs to open DIL file

Remember to download programs supporting DIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Delphi with DIL files

If, despite the installed application, the DIL file does not start in the Delphi 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DIL file with the Delphi program.

Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version

If, however, after binding Delphi with Delphi there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DIL file

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

The DIL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DIL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DIL file. Sometimes virus-infected DIL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DIL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DIL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DIL 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DIL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DIL file again. However, some background programs may block the DIL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
