How to open WCPL file?

An often recurring problem with Webcopier Project Settings is that WCPL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WCPL, 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 WCPL 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 WebCopier

In this case, you should first verify that the WebCopier application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WebCopier into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WCPL files.

Programs to open WCPL file

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

Step 2. Create association of WebCopier with WCPL files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WCPL file to open in the WebCopier application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WCPL file with the WebCopier application.

Step 3. Update WebCopier to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WebCopier program with the Webcopier Project Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the MaximumSoft Corp. website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The WCPL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WCPL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WCPL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WCPL 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 WCPL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WCPL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MaximumSoft Corp.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WCPL 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 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. Copying the WCPL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WCPL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WCPL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
