Troubleshooting Problems Opening DIL Files


Issues Opening DIL Files

Missing Delphi (IDE)

You attempt to load your DIL file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The DIL File Extension". Customarily, this means that Delphi (IDE) is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your DIL file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another DIL application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Obsolete Version of Delphi (IDE)

It is possible that your version of Delphi (IDE) isn't able to open your Delphi File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Delphi (IDE) from Embarcadero Technologies is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Delphi File file version that was created by a newer version of Delphi (IDE) than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DIL file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening DIL files are due to having the wrong version of Delphi (IDE) installed.


Other Causes of DIL File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right Delphi (IDE) version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DIL files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening DIL files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • DIL file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The DIL file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the DIL format
  • Your DIL file is corrupted (issues with your Delphi File file itself)
  • Your DIL is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to DILs has device driver corruption
  • Windows cannot load your Delphi File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
