How to open MERLIN2 file?
The most common problem when using Merlin Project Format is that a specific MERLIN2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MERLIN2, 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 MERLIN2 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 ProjectWizards Merlin
In this case, you should first verify that the ProjectWizards Merlin application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ProjectWizards Merlin in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MERLIN2 with ProjectWizards Merlin. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MERLIN2 files.
Programs to open MERLIN2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MERLIN2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ProjectWizards Merlin with MERLIN2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MERLIN2 file to open in the ProjectWizards Merlin 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ProjectWizards Merlin application as the default for handling the MERLIN2 file.
Step 3. Update ProjectWizards Merlin to the latest version
If, however, after binding ProjectWizards Merlin with Merlin Project Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MERLIN2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MERLIN2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MERLIN2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MERLIN2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MERLIN2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MERLIN2 files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MERLIN2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MERLIN2 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. It is best to move MERLIN2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MERLIN2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MERLIN2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MERLIN2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
