What is HLA file?

The HLA file has been categorized as Developer Files. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. High Level Assembler Source is most often found on 1 operating systems.

How to open HLA file?

The main problem with High Level Assembler Source is that the HLA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HLA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HLA 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 Sublime Text

In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HLA.

Programs to open HLA file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with HLA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HLA file still does not use the Sublime Text 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 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 HLA file with the Sublime Text program.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the High Level Assembler Source file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HLA 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. Usually this applies to HLA 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HLA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HLA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HLA file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HLA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HLA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HLA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HLA to close. However, some background programs may block the HLA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
