How to open II file?
The main problem with IconWorkshop Extended Information Format is that the II file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open II, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the II 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 IconWorkshop
In this case, you should first verify that the IconWorkshop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IconWorkshop into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file II with IconWorkshop.

Programs to open II file
Remember to download programs supporting II files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IconWorkshop with II files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the II file still does not use the IconWorkshop program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the II file with the IconWorkshop application.
Step 3. Update IconWorkshop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IconWorkshop program with the IconWorkshop Extended Information Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Axialis Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the II file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The II file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to II files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file II or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected II file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of II file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged II files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Axialis Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted II 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the II file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file II to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the II file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
