How to open WL2 file?
An often recurring problem with Well Logger Document Format is that WL2 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WL2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WL2 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 Well Logger
The first step is to check if the computer has the Well Logger program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Well Logger in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WL2 files.
Programs to open WL2 file
Remember to download programs supporting WL2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Well Logger with WL2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WL2 file to open in the Well Logger application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WL2 file with the Well Logger application.
Step 3. Update Well Logger to the latest version
If, however, after binding Well Logger with Well Logger Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Porpoise Media website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WL2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WL2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WL2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WL2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WL2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WL2 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WL2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WL2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WL2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WL2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
