Step 2. Create association of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with IW5DLC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IW5DLC file still does not use the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties.

Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IW5DLC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IW5DLC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IW5DLC file. Sometimes virus-infected IW5DLC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IW5DLC 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IW5DLC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IW5DLC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move IW5DLC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
