How to open WIX file?
The main problem with Xara Internal Graphics Data is that the WIX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WIX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIX 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 Xara Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Xara Studio program installed. This can be achieved by typing Xara Studio into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WIX with Xara Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support WIX files.
Programs to open WIX file
Remember to download programs supporting WIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Xara Studio with WIX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WIX file still does not use the Xara Studio program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 WIX file with the Xara Studio program.
Step 3. Update Xara Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Xara Studio program with the Xara Internal Graphics Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Xara Group Limited. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIX 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:
The WIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WIX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WIX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WIX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WIX 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 option of recovering data from damaged WIX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Xara Group Limited.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WIX 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 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. It is best to move WIX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WIX file again. However, some background programs may block the WIX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
