The WFK file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WFK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WFK file on each system platform.
What is WFK file?
The WFK file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Delphi is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open WFK file?
An often recurring problem with Delphi is that WFK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WFK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WFK 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 Delphi
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Delphi is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Delphi into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WFK.
Programs to open WFK file
Remember to download programs supporting WFK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with WFK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WFK file still does not use the Delphi program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Delphi application as the default for handling the WFK file.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Delphi program, it is possible that Delphi requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WFK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WFK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WFK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WFK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WFK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WFK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WFK 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the WFK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WFK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WFK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
