Step 2. Create association of HLSW Game Server Tool with SL20 files

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SL20 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SL20 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SL20 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SL20 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SL20 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SL20 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stripf Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SL20 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SL20 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SL20 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 SL20 to close. However, some background programs may block the SL20 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
