All about SOL Files

The SOL file type is primarily associated with Flash Player.

SOL	File extension: SOL
	File type:	shared object

What is a SOL file?

SOL files mostly belong to Flash Player by Adobe. A SOL file is a script written in solidity programming language. Solidity is a C++ and ECMAscript-based language for implementing smart contracts on Ethereum and other blockchain networks. Code editors such as VS Code and Sublime can create and edit SOL scripts. Their respective Solidity plugins can execute such scripts. Another type of SOL file is the saved state of a video game played on Steam game distribution software. A player's progress is saved in this file. Eagle electronics design automation program uses a SOL file to save the bottom copper layer of a printed circuit board.

How to open SOL files

You need a suitable software like Flash Player to open a SOL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SOL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SOL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert SOL files:

Flash Player by Adobe
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. SOL files are often referred to as Flash Player developers because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Eagle (PCB bottom copper layer) by Autodesk
Eagle is an electronic design automation software with schematic capture and printed circuit board design support. A SOL file created by Eagle contains the bottom copper layer of a printed circuit board. This file format is classified as CAD.
Prelude/Solids (data) by Matra Datavision
Prelude/Solids is a discontinued design and photo editing software. It uses some data saved in a SOL file. This file format is classified as Data.
Steam (saved palyer progress) by Valve
Steam is a digital video game distribution service available as a standalone program. It uses a SOL file to store a player's progress in a game. This file format is classified as Game.
Visual Studio Code (script) by Microsoft
Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform code editor featuring a plugin for compiling scripts (tokens, deposits, stakes) written in Solidity programming language. It saves a Solidity script in a SOL file. This file format is classified as Developer. Related links: Solidity

SOL file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our analysis of the SOL files produces the following result:

The SOL file extension is very common and covers different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

55% of all SOL files are associated with Flash Shared Object. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. SOL files can be up to 3 MB in size, but are often around 67 bytes - 26 KB. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The files contain the following words: TCSO. A common filename is settings.sol. Such files sometimes refer to save, data, game, core, slot, woman, madness and dune.
10% of all SOL files start with the bytes pragma solidity , which are crucial for this file format. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 3 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: pragma solidity, contract and uint. Some examples of file names are ERC20.sol. Such SOL files store data about auction, ballot, scag, dhgqyr, lyeei and lxvg.

All the rest of the SOL files (35%) have different formats, often, for example, Source, ZIP, ELF and Prob. The category is saved, contract, arena, player, cache or login. If you want to find out which format your SOL file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .sol file to analyze".

a sol shared object is a special file format by Adobe and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with SOL files

Associate the SOL file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open shared objects. Because only the current version supports the latest SOL file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Adobe manufacturer website after an available Flash Player update.
To make sure that your SOL file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
