How to open WFB file?
The most common problem when using WaveFront Sound Bank is that a specific WFB is not associated with the program.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WFB 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.

Remember to download programs supporting WFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WaveFront with WFB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WFB file still does not use the WaveFront program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WFB file with the WaveFront program.
Step 3. Update WaveFront to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WaveFront program, it is possible that WaveFront Sound Bank requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WFB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WFB file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WFB file. Sometimes virus-infected WFB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WFB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WFB files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WFB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WFB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WFB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
