How to open HMSKIN file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMSKIN 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 Help & Manual

Programs to open HMSKIN file
Remember to download programs supporting HMSKIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Help & Manual with HMSKIN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMSKIN file to open in the Help & Manual application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Help & Manual application as the default for handling the HMSKIN file.
Step 3. Update Help & Manual to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Help & Manual program, it is possible that Help & Manual Help Format Skin requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EC Software GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMSKIN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 HMSKIN file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 HMSKIN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HMSKIN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HMSKIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HMSKIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use EC Software GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HMSKIN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HMSKIN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HMSKIN 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 HMSKIN to close. However, some background programs may block the HMSKIN file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
