How to open WINDSPROSKIN file?

The most common problem when using WinDS Skin Format is that a specific WINDSPROSKIN is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WINDSPROSKIN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WINDSPROSKIN 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 WinDS PRO

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinDS PRO is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinDS PRO in it. 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 WINDSPROSKIN.

Programs to open WINDSPROSKIN file

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

Step 2. Create association of WinDS PRO with WINDSPROSKIN files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WINDSPROSKIN file to open in the WinDS PRO application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 WINDSPROSKIN file with the WinDS PRO program.

Step 3. Update WinDS PRO to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinDS PRO with WinDS Skin Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SourceForge.net page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WINDSPROSKIN 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. Usually this applies to WINDSPROSKIN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WINDSPROSKIN or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WINDSPROSKIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WINDSPROSKIN file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WINDSPROSKIN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WINDSPROSKIN 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WINDSPROSKIN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WINDSPROSKIN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
