How to open WIXOBJ file?
An often recurring problem with WiX Object is that WIXOBJ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WIXOBJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIXOBJ 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 Windows Installer XML
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Installer XML is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Installer XML 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 WIXOBJ.
Programs to open WIXOBJ file
Remember to download programs supporting WIXOBJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Installer XML with WIXOBJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WIXOBJ file still does not use the Windows Installer XML program, it means no association. 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 WIXOBJ file with the Windows Installer XML program.
Step 3. Update Windows Installer XML to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Installer XML with WiX Object 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIXOBJ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to WIXOBJ 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WIXOBJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WIXOBJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WIXOBJ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WIXOBJ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WIXOBJ 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. If possible, you can try to move the WIXOBJ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WIXOBJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WIXOBJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WIXOBJ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
