Tips to open MSIL file
Can't open the MSIL file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open MSIL files as well as a list of programs that support MSIL files.
MSIL file extension
The MSIL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MSIL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MSIL file on each system platform.
What is MSIL file?
The MSIL file has been categorized as Developer Files. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Microsoft Intermediate Language 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 .NET Framework. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open MSIL file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Intermediate Language is that MSIL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MSIL, 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 MSIL 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 .NET Framework
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing .NET Framework into the operating 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 MSIL files.
Programs to open MSIL file
Remember to download programs supporting MSIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of .NET Framework with MSIL files
If, despite the installed application, the MSIL file does not start in the .NET Framework 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the .NET Framework application as the default for handling the MSIL file.
Step 3. Update .NET Framework to the latest version
If, despite the association of the .NET Framework program with the Microsoft Intermediate Language 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 MSIL 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MSIL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MSIL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MSIL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MSIL file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged MSIL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MSIL 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 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 MSIL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 MSIL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MSIL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
