How to open INI-DIST file?
An often recurring problem with PHP INI is that INI-DIST is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file INI-DIST 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 INI-DIST 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 PHP Engine
In this case, you should first verify that the PHP Engine application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PHP Engine in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open INI-DIST files.
Programs to open INI-DIST file
Remember to download programs supporting INI-DIST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PHP Engine with INI-DIST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INI-DIST file to open in the PHP Engine application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 INI-DIST file with the PHP Engine application.
Step 3. Update PHP Engine to the latest version
If, however, after binding PHP Engine with PHP INI there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INI-DIST 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 suggests truncating the INI-DIST 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 INI-DIST or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected INI-DIST files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INI-DIST 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INI-DIST file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file INI-DIST 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 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 INI-DIST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INI-DIST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INI-DIST file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INI-DIST file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
