How to open EQL file?

An often recurring problem with MathType Settings is that EQL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EQL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EQL 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 MathType

The first step is to check if the computer has the MathType program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MathType in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EQL with MathType. Below you will find a list of applications that support EQL files.

Programs to open EQL file

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

Step 2. Create association of MathType with EQL files

If, despite the installed application, the EQL file does not start in the MathType 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 EQL file with the MathType program.

Step 3. Update MathType to the latest version

If, however, after binding MathType with MathType Settings there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Diesign Science page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 EQL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EQL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EQL 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 EQL 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EQL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EQL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EQL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
