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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WDZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WDZ 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 WDZ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WDZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WDZ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the WDZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WDZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WDZ to close. However, some background programs may block the WDZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
