Programs to open HKI2 file
Remember to download programs supporting HKI2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinHKI Archiver with HKI2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HKI2 file still does not use the WinHKI Archiver program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HKI2 file with the WinHKI Archiver program.
Step 3. Update WinHKI Archiver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinHKI Archiver program, it is possible that WinHKI HKI2 Archive requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKI2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The HKI2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HKI2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HKI2 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HKI2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HKI2 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HKI2 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HKI2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HKI2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HKI2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
