How to open PIKA file?

Step 2. Create association of Pika Software Builder with PIKA files
If, despite the installed application, the PIKA file does not start in the Pika Software Builder 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pika Software Builder application as the default for handling the PIKA file.
Step 3. Update Pika Software Builder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Pika Software Builder program, it is possible that Pika Software Builder Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pika Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIKA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PIKA file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 PIKA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PIKA 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 PIKA 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 ability to automatically repair PIKA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Pika Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PIKA 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. Copying the PIKA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PIKA file again. However, some background programs may block the PIKA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
