What is WMT file?

The main program that supports this format is WinMount. This was created by WinMount International Inc..
How to open WMT file?
An often recurring problem with WinMount Virtual Disk Format is that WMT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WMT, 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 WMT 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 WinMount
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinMount is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinMount into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WMT.
Programs to open WMT file
Remember to download programs supporting WMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinMount with WMT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WMT file to open in the WinMount application, but you can set it manually. 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 WinMount application as the default for handling the WMT file.
Step 3. Update WinMount to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinMount program with the WinMount Virtual Disk Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinMount International Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WMT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WMT file. Sometimes virus-infected WMT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WMT 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WMT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting WinMount International, 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 WMT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WMT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WMT 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.
