How to open WMLS file?

The main problem with Wireless Markup Language Script Format (WAP) is that the WMLS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WMLS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WMLS 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 NotePad++ text editor

The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing NotePad++ text editor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WMLS.

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with WMLS files

If, despite the installed application, the WMLS file does not start in the NotePad++ text editor 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. 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. 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 NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the WMLS file.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the Wireless Markup Language Script Format (WAP) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Notepad++ Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMLS 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WMLS file. 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 WMLS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WMLS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WMLS file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 WMLS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WMLS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move WMLS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WMLS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
