Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL17 files
If, despite the installed application, the SL17 file does not start in the HLSW Game Server Tool 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL17 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SL17 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SL17 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SL17 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 SL17 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SL17 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Stripf Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL17 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SL17 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SL17 to close. However, some background programs may block the SL17 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
