What is MAL file?
The file in the MAL format belongs to the Settings Files category. The creator of this file is MadAppLauncher. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. MadAppLauncher Configuration Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The MadAppLauncher application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Roberto Concepcion.
How to open MAL file?
An often recurring problem with MadAppLauncher Configuration Format is that MAL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MAL 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 MadAppLauncher
In this case, you should first verify that the MadAppLauncher application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MadAppLauncher into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MAL files.
Programs to open MAL file
Remember to download programs supporting MAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MadAppLauncher with MAL files
If, despite the installed application, the MAL file does not start in the MadAppLauncher application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MAL file with the MadAppLauncher application.
Step 3. Update MadAppLauncher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MadAppLauncher program with the MadAppLauncher Configuration Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Roberto Concepcion website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MAL 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. 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 MAL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MAL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MAL 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MAL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting MadAppLauncher, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MAL 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 MAL 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MAL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
