How to open HKI3 file?
The main problem with WinHKI HKI3 Archive is that the HKI3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HKI3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HKI3 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 WinHKI Archiver
In this case, you should first verify that the WinHKI Archiver application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinHKI Archiver into the system search engine.

Programs to open HKI3 file
Remember to download programs supporting HKI3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinHKI Archiver with HKI3 files
If, despite the installed application, the HKI3 file does not start in the WinHKI Archiver application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 HKI3 file with the WinHKI Archiver application.
Step 3. Update WinHKI Archiver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinHKI Archiver program, it is possible that WinHKI HKI3 Archive requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKI3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HKI3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HKI3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HKI3 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 HKI3 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HKI3 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HKI3 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HKI3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HKI3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HKI3 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
