How to open MFIL file?
An often recurring problem with Blizzard Software Update Format is that MFIL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MFIL, 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 MFIL 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 World of Warcraft
In this case, you should first verify that the World of Warcraft application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name World of Warcraft 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 MFIL files.
Programs to open MFIL file
Remember to download programs supporting MFIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of World of Warcraft with MFIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MFIL file still does not use the World of Warcraft program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFIL file with the World of Warcraft program.
Step 3. Update World of Warcraft to the latest version
If, despite the association of the World of Warcraft program with the Blizzard Software Update 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 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFIL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 MFIL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MFIL file. However, remember that not every infected MFIL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MFIL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MFIL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MFIL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MFIL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MFIL 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
