Step 2. Create association of Adobe RoboHelp with KKW files
If, despite the installed application, the KKW file does not start in the Adobe RoboHelp 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KKW 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 KKW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KKW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KKW file. Sometimes virus-infected KKW 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 KKW 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KKW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KKW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KKW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the KKW 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 KKW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KKW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
