How to open MXI file?
The main problem with Adobe Dreamweaver Extension Manager Format is that the MXI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MXI 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 MXI 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 Adobe Dreamweaver
In this case, you should first verify that the Adobe Dreamweaver application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Dreamweaver into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MXI with Adobe Dreamweaver. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MXI files.
Programs to open MXI file
Remember to download programs supporting MXI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Dreamweaver with MXI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MXI file to open in the Adobe Dreamweaver application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 Adobe Dreamweaver application as the default for handling the MXI file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Dreamweaver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Dreamweaver program, it is possible that Adobe Dreamweaver Extension Manager Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MXI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 MXI 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MXI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MXI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MXI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MXI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 MXI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MXI 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 MXI file again. However, some background programs may block the MXI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
