How to open WBA file?
The main problem with WindowBlinds Compressed Skin is that the WBA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WBA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WBA 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 WindowBlinds
In this case, you should first verify that the WindowBlinds application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WindowBlinds into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WBA with WindowBlinds. Below is a list of programs that support the file WBA.
Programs to open WBA file
Remember to download programs supporting WBA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WindowBlinds with WBA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WBA file still does not use the WindowBlinds program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WindowBlinds application as the default for handling the WBA file.
Step 3. Update WindowBlinds to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WindowBlinds program with the WindowBlinds Compressed Skin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Stardock Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The WBA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WBA file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WBA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBA file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WBA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Stardock
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WBA 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. If possible, you can try to move the WBA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WBA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
