How to open ML4 file?

An often recurring problem with Milestones 4 Schedule is that ML4 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ML4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ML4 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 Milestones Professional

The first step is to check if the computer has the Milestones Professional program installed. To do this, enter the name Milestones Professional into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ML4 files.

Programs to open ML4 file

Remember to download programs supporting ML4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Milestones Professional with ML4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ML4 file still does not use the Milestones Professional program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Milestones Professional application as the default for handling the ML4 file.

Step 3. Update Milestones Professional to the latest version

If, however, after binding Milestones Professional with Milestones 4 Schedule there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the KIDASA Software, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ML4 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ML4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ML4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ML4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ML4 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ML4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting KIDASA Software, Inc., 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 ML4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ML4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ML4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ML4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
