The WBXML file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WBXML files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WBXML file on each system platform.
What is WBXML file?
The WBXML file has been categorized as Web Files. It was designed by Open Mobile Alliance. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. WAP Binary XML Format is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use Opera in case Nokia Qt SDK cannot be used.
How to open WBXML file?
An often recurring problem with WAP Binary XML Format is that WBXML is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WBXML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WBXML 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 Nokia Qt SDK
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nokia Qt SDK is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nokia Qt SDK into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WBXML.
Programs to open WBXML file
Remember to download programs supporting WBXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nokia Qt SDK with WBXML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WBXML file still does not use the Nokia Qt SDK 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 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 "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nokia Qt SDK application as the default for handling the WBXML file.
Step 3. Update Nokia Qt SDK to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nokia Qt SDK program, it is possible that WAP Binary XML Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WBXML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBXML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WBXML 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 WBXML file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WBXML file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WBXML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 WBXML to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
