How to open IAL file?
The main problem with Microsoft SharePoint List Activity is that the IAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IAL, 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 IAL 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 Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Office SharePoint Server into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file IAL.
Programs to open IAL file
Remember to download programs supporting IAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server with IAL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IAL file still does not use the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server application as the default for handling the IAL file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office SharePoint Server with Microsoft SharePoint List Activity there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IAL 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IAL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IAL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IAL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IAL 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IAL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IAL 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IAL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IAL file again. However, some background programs may block the IAL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
