How to open DL file?
The most common problem when using Zoo Tycoon 2 Data Format is that a specific DL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DL 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 Zoo Tycoon 2
In this case, you should first verify that the Zoo Tycoon 2 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Zoo Tycoon 2 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DL with Zoo Tycoon 2. Below you will find a list of applications that support DL files.
Programs to open DL file
Remember to download programs supporting DL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zoo Tycoon 2 with DL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DL file still does not use the Zoo Tycoon 2 program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 DL file with the Zoo Tycoon 2 program.
Step 3. Update Zoo Tycoon 2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Zoo Tycoon 2 program, it is possible that Zoo Tycoon 2 Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Studios website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DL 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 DL files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 DL 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
