Step 2. Create association of Wii Backup Manager with WBI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WBI file to open in the Wii Backup Manager 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location.

The fault may also lie with the Wii Backup Manager program, it is possible that Wii Backup Manager ISO Image Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the fig page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBI file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WBI 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBI file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WBI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBI 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WBI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WBI 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the WBI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WBI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
