The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

The fault may also lie with the Painkiller Overdose program, it is possible that Painkiller Overdose Game requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mindware Studios, s.r.o. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The HKE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HKE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HKE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HKE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HKE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 HKE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Mindware Studios, s.r.o., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HKE 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.
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 HKE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HKE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HKE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
