How to open WLC file?
The main problem with Microsoft Live Mesh is that the WLC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WLC, 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 WLC 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 Microsoft Live Mesh
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Live Mesh application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Live Mesh 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 WLC with Microsoft Live Mesh. Below you will find a list of applications that support WLC files.
Programs to open WLC file
Remember to download programs supporting WLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Live Mesh with WLC files
If, despite the installed application, the WLC file does not start in the Microsoft Live Mesh application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Live Mesh application as the default for handling the WLC file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Live Mesh to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Live Mesh with Microsoft Live Mesh there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WLC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The WLC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WLC file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WLC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WLC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WLC 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WLC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, 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 file WLC 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the WLC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WLC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WLC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
