How to open IKM file?

An often recurring problem with XWE Data Format is that IKM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that IKM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IKM 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 XWE

The first step is to check if the computer has the XWE program installed. This can be achieved by typing XWE into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support IKM files.

Step 2. Create association of XWE with IKM files

If, despite the installed application, the IKM file does not start in the XWE application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XWE application as the default for handling the IKM file.

Step 3. Update XWE to the latest version

If, however, after binding XWE with XWE Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IKM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The IKM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IKM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IKM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IKM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IKM files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IKM files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IKM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IKM 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IKM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IKM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
