How to open DZIP file?
The most common problem when using The Witcher 2 Game Archive is that a specific DZIP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DZIP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DZIP 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 The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
In this case, you should first verify that the The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open DZIP file
Remember to download programs supporting DZIP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings with DZIP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DZIP file still does not use the The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings application as the default for handling the DZIP file.
Step 3. Update The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings program, it is possible that The Witcher 2 Game Archive requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CD PROJEKT website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DZIP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DZIP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DZIP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DZIP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DZIP files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DZIP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CD Projekt help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DZIP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DZIP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DZIP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DZIP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
