How to open ILG file?
An often recurring problem with MakeIndex Error Log is that ILG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ILG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ILG 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 MakeIndex
The first step is to check if the computer has the MakeIndex program installed. This can be achieved by typing MakeIndex into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open ILG file
Remember to download programs supporting ILG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MakeIndex with ILG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ILG file to open in the MakeIndex application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ILG file with the MakeIndex application.
Step 3. Update MakeIndex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MakeIndex program, it is possible that MakeIndex Error Log requires a newer version of the program.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 Pehong Chen page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ILG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 ILG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ILG file. However, remember that not every infected ILG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ILG file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 ILG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Pehong Chen
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ILG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ILG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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 ILG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ILG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
