Sources of TLI Problems
Typical TLI Opening Challenges
Microsoft C/C++ Not Present
When trying to open your TLI file, you get the error "Can't Open TLI File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft C/C++ isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your TLI file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your TLI file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Incorrect Microsoft C/C++ Version
In other instances, your Typelib Generated C/C++ Inline File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft C/C++. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft C/C++ installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Typelib Generated C/C++ Inline File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft C/C++ than you have on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the TLI file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Conclusion: The majority of TLI file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft C/C++ version installed.
Additional TLI Opening Issues
Although you might already have Microsoft C/C++ or another TLI-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Typelib Generated C/C++ Inline File files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening TLIs. Other contributing causes:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for TLI
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry TLI description
- Partial installation of Microsoft C/C++ that did not fully complete
- File corruption affecting your TLI file
- Your TLI has adversely impacted by malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your TLI file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Typelib Generated C/C++ Inline File files
