How to open KSML file?

The most common problem when using Halo Custom Edition is that a specific KSML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open KSML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KSML 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 Halo Custom Edition

In this case, you should first verify that the Halo Custom Edition application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Halo Custom Edition into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KSML with Halo Custom Edition. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KSML files.

Programs to open KSML file

Remember to download programs supporting KSML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Halo Custom Edition with KSML files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KSML file to open in the Halo Custom Edition 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KSML file with the Halo Custom Edition program.

Step 3. Update Halo Custom Edition to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Halo Custom Edition program with the Halo Custom Edition file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gearbox Software page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The KSML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KSML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 KSML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KSML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KSML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KSML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Gearbox Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KSML 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the KSML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the KSML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the KSML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
