How to open WGZ file?

The main problem with S60 Web Runtime Widget Package is that the WGZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WGZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WGZ 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 Nokia Multimedia Transfer

In this case, you should first verify that the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Nokia Multimedia Transfer into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WGZ.

Programs to open WGZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nokia Multimedia Transfer with WGZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WGZ file to open in the Nokia Multimedia Transfer 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WGZ file with the Nokia Multimedia Transfer program.

Step 3. Update Nokia Multimedia Transfer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Nokia Multimedia Transfer program, it is possible that S60 Web Runtime Widget Package requires a newer version of the program.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WGZ file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WGZ file. However, remember that not every infected WGZ 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 WGZ 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 option of recovering data from damaged WGZ files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WGZ 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 WGZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WGZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WGZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
