How to open TFIL file?
The main problem with Blizzard Software Update Format is that the TFIL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TFIL, 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 TFIL 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 World of Warcraft
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that World of Warcraft is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name World of Warcraft into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TFIL files.
Programs to open TFIL file
Remember to download programs supporting TFIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of World of Warcraft with TFIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TFIL file still does not use the World of Warcraft program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TFIL file with the World of Warcraft application.
Step 3. Update World of Warcraft to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the World of Warcraft program, it is possible that Blizzard Software Update Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TFIL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TFIL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TFIL file. Sometimes virus-infected TFIL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TFIL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TFIL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Blizzard Entertainment help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TFIL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TFIL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TFIL 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 TFIL to close. However, some background programs may block the TFIL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
