How to open RLS file?

The main problem with RadLight Skin Format is that the RLS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RLS 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 RLS 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 RadLight

In this case, you should first verify that the RadLight application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RadLight in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RLS with RadLight. Below is a list of programs that support the file RLS.

Programs to open RLS file

Step 2. Create association of RadLight with RLS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RLS file to open in the RadLight application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RadLight application as the default for handling the RLS file.

Step 3. Update RadLight to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RadLight program with the RadLight Skin Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RadLight website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RLS 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RLS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 RLS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RLS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RLS 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RLS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RadLight help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RLS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RLS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RLS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RLS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
