The DNL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DNL 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DNL or the program directory.

Older version of DNL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair DNL file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DNL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DNL file to another location will fix the problem.

Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DNL file again. However, some background programs may block the DNL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
