How to open WMI file?
The most common problem when using WorldMate Itinerary Data is that a specific WMI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WMI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WMI 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 WorldMate Gold
The first step is to check if the computer has the WorldMate Gold program installed. This can be achieved by typing WorldMate Gold into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WMI files.
Programs to open WMI file
Remember to download programs supporting WMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WorldMate Gold with WMI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WMI file still does not use the WorldMate Gold program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WMI file with the WorldMate Gold application.
Step 3. Update WorldMate Gold to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WorldMate Gold program with the WorldMate Itinerary Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the WorldMate Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WMI file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WMI file. However, remember that not every infected WMI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WMI 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WMI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WorldMate Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WMI 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. 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 WMI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WMI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
