How to open DLY file?
The most common problem when using Xilinx ISE ReportGen Delay Information Format is that a specific DLY is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DLY, 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 DLY 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 ISE Design Suite
The first step is to check if the computer has the ISE Design Suite program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ISE Design Suite in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DLY with ISE Design Suite. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DLY files.
Programs to open DLY file
Remember to download programs supporting DLY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ISE Design Suite with DLY files
If, despite the installed application, the DLY file does not start in the ISE Design Suite 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DLY file with the ISE Design Suite program.
Step 3. Update ISE Design Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ISE Design Suite program, it is possible that Xilinx ISE ReportGen Delay Information Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Xilinx, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLY 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DLY file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLY file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DLY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DLY 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DLY files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DLY except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DLY file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DLY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DLY to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
