How to open W02 file?

The most common problem when using Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 1) is that a specific W02 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open W02, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the W02 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 LiveWare Installer

In this case, you should first verify that the LiveWare Installer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LiveWare Installer into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open W02 file

Remember to download programs supporting W02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of LiveWare Installer with W02 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the W02 file to open in the LiveWare Installer application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 LiveWare Installer application as the default for handling the W02 file.

Step 3. Update LiveWare Installer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the LiveWare Installer program with the Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 1) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W02 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the W02 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our W02 file. However, remember that not every infected W02 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the W02 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular W02 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted W02 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move W02 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 you have to wait for the session to the file W02 to close. However, some background programs may block the W02 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
