How to open RSL file?

The most common problem when using Robot Scripting Language is that a specific RSL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RSL, 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 RSL 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 Windows Notepad

The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Notepad program installed. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RSL files.

Programs to open RSL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with RSL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RSL file still does not use the Windows Notepad program, it means no 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 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 Windows Notepad application as the default for handling the RSL file.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Notepad with Robot Scripting Language there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

The RSL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RSL file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RSL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RSL 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 RSL 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RSL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RSL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RSL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RSL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RSL to close. However, some background programs may block the RSL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
