How to open WKZ file?
The most common problem when using Wingz Spreadsheet is that a specific WKZ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WKZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WKZ 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 Wingz
The first step is to check if the computer has the Wingz program installed. To do this, enter the name Wingz into the system search engine.

Programs to open WKZ file
Remember to download programs supporting WKZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wingz with WKZ files
If, despite the installed application, the WKZ file does not start in the Wingz application, you must create a file 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. 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 Wingz application as the default for handling the WKZ file.
Step 3. Update Wingz to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Wingz program, it is possible that Wingz Spreadsheet requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Informix page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WKZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WKZ file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WKZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WKZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WKZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WKZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Informix, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WKZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WKZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WKZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WKZ file again. However, some background programs may block the WKZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
