MLI file extension
The MLI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MLI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MLI file on each system platform.
What is MLI file?
The file in the MLI format belongs to the Developer Files category. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. F# Source Code is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Visual Studio. This was created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. Sublime Text will apply when it is not possible to use Microsoft Visual Studio.
How to open MLI file?
The main problem with F# Source Code is that the MLI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MLI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MLI 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 Microsoft Visual Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MLI files.
Programs to open MLI file
Remember to download programs supporting MLI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with MLI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MLI file still does not use the Microsoft Visual Studio 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. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MLI file with the Microsoft Visual Studio application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Visual Studio program with the F# Source Code file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MLI 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 MLI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MLI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MLI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MLI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MLI 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.
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 MLI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MLI 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 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 MLI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MLI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MLI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
