How to open SLI file?
The most common problem when using ENVI Spectral Library is that a specific SLI is not associated with the program. This causes the file SLI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLI 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 ENVI
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ENVI is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ENVI into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SLI.
Programs to open SLI file
Remember to download programs supporting SLI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ENVI with SLI files
If, despite the installed application, the SLI file does not start in the ENVI 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SLI file with the ENVI application.
Step 3. Update ENVI to the latest version
If, however, after binding ENVI with ENVI Spectral Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Exelis Visual Information Solutions website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SLI 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 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 SLI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SLI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLI 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Exelis Visual Information Solutions
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SLI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SLI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SLI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
