Programs to open HKI1 file

Step 2. Create association of WinHKI Archiver with HKI1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HKI1 file to open in the WinHKI Archiver application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HKI1 file with the WinHKI Archiver application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKI1 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HKI1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HKI1 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HKI1 file. Sometimes virus-infected HKI1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HKI1 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HKI1 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HKI1 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the HKI1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HKI1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HKI1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HKI1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
