The INL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the INL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the INL file on each system platform.
What is INL file?
The INL file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is Microsoft. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. C++ Inline Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Microsoft Visual Studio to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. You can use Visual C++ in case Microsoft Visual Studio cannot be used.
How to open INL file?
The most common problem when using C++ Inline Format is that a specific INL is not associated with the program. This causes the file INL 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 INL 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 Visual Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Visual Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INL with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support INL files.
Programs to open INL file
Remember to download programs supporting INL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with INL files
If, despite the installed application, the INL file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file 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. 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 INL file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Visual Studio with C++ Inline Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INL 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the INL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INL file. Sometimes virus-infected INL 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 INL files changes over time. 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.
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 INL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the INL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
