What is RODL file?

The RODL file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is RemObjects. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. RemObjects Definition Language Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use RemObjects SDK to handle this file. This is a program created by RemObjects Software, LLC.

How to open RODL file?

An often recurring problem with RemObjects Definition Language Format is that RODL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RODL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RODL 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 RemObjects SDK

The first step is to check if the computer has the RemObjects SDK program installed. This can be achieved by typing RemObjects SDK into the operating system search engine. 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 RODL files.

Programs to open RODL file

Remember to download programs supporting RODL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of RemObjects SDK with RODL files

If, despite the installed application, the RODL file does not start in the RemObjects SDK 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RODL file with the RemObjects SDK program.

Step 3. Update RemObjects SDK to the latest version

If, however, after binding RemObjects SDK with RemObjects Definition Language Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RemObjects Software, LLC page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RODL file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The RODL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RODL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RODL file. However, remember that not every infected RODL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RODL files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RODL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RemObjects, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RODL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RODL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RODL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RODL to close. However, some background programs may block the RODL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
