Programs to open WLK file
Remember to download programs supporting WLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Weatherlink with WLK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WLK file to open in the Weatherlink application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Weatherlink application as the default for handling the WLK file.
Step 3. Update Weatherlink to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Weatherlink program, it is possible that Weatherlink Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Davis Instruments, Corp website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WLK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WLK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WLK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WLK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WLK 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WLK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Davis Instruments, Corp help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WLK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WLK file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WLK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WLK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
