How to open ROB file?

The main problem with Wintask Compiled Program is that the ROB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ROB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ROB 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 WinTask

In this case, you should first verify that the WinTask application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinTask 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 ROB files.

Programs to open ROB file

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

Step 2. Create association of WinTask with ROB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ROB file to open in the WinTask application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinTask application as the default for handling the ROB file.

Step 3. Update WinTask to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinTask with Wintask Compiled Program there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Taskware website and install the latest version.

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

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

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ROB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ROB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ROB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ROB 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ROB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Taskware, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ROB 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 ROB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ROB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ROB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
