How to open IPK file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IPK 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 Shana Infromed Filler

Programs to open IPK file

Remember to download programs supporting IPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Shana Infromed Filler with IPK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IPK file to open in the Shana Infromed Filler application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IPK file with the Shana Infromed Filler program.

Step 3. Update Shana Infromed Filler to the latest version

If, however, after binding Shana Infromed Filler with Shana Informed Filler Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Shana Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to IPK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IPK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IPK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IPK files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IPK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IPK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move IPK to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IPK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IPK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
