How to open RBI file?
An often recurring problem with EBahn Reader is that RBI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RBI 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 RBI 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 eBahn Desktop
The first step is to check if the computer has the eBahn Desktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing eBahn Desktop 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 RBI files.
Programs to open RBI file
Remember to download programs supporting RBI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of eBahn Desktop with RBI files
If, despite the installed application, the RBI file does not start in the eBahn Desktop application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 eBahn Desktop application as the default for handling the RBI file.
Step 3. Update eBahn Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the eBahn Desktop program with the EBahn Reader file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Robert Bentley, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RBI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 RBI file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RBI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RBI 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 RBI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RBI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Robert Bentley, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RBI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RBI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RBI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RBI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
