How to open DLE file?
The main problem with 3D Studio Max Plugin is that the DLE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DLE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLE 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 3ds Max

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DLE files.
Programs to open DLE file
Remember to download programs supporting DLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with DLE files
If, despite the installed application, the DLE file does not start in the 3ds Max application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 3ds Max application as the default for handling the DLE file.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 3ds Max program, it is possible that 3D Studio Max Plugin requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DLE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DLE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DLE 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DLE file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DLE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DLE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DLE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
