What is MKB file?
The file in the MKB format belongs to the Developer Files category. The author of this format is Ideaworks3D Limited. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Marmalade SDK Project appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Marmalade SDK. This was created by Ideaworks3D Limited.
How to open MKB file?
An often recurring problem with Marmalade SDK Project is that MKB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MKB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKB 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 Marmalade SDK
In this case, you should first verify that the Marmalade SDK application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Marmalade SDK into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MKB files.
Programs to open MKB file
Remember to download programs supporting MKB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Marmalade SDK with MKB files
If, despite the installed application, the MKB file does not start in the Marmalade SDK 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MKB file with the Marmalade SDK program.
Step 3. Update Marmalade SDK to the latest version
If, however, after binding Marmalade SDK with Marmalade SDK Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Ideaworks3D Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MKB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MKB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MKB 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 MKB 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ideaworks3D Limited, 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 file MKB 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. If possible, you can try to move the MKB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MKB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MKB file again. However, some background programs may block the MKB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
