Step 2. Create association of Wenlin Software for Learning Chinese with WENLIN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WENLIN file still does not use the Wenlin Software for Learning Chinese program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WENLIN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The WENLIN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WENLIN 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WENLIN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WENLIN 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 WENLIN 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WENLIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WENLIN 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 WENLIN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WENLIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WENLIN file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WENLIN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
