It was released by Nero AG.
How to open WPK file?
The most common problem when using Nero Wave Editor Format is that a specific WPK is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WPK, 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 WPK 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 Nero Multimedia Suite
In this case, you should first verify that the Nero Multimedia Suite application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Nero Multimedia Suite into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WPK with Nero Multimedia Suite. Below you will find a list of applications that support WPK files.
Programs to open WPK file
Remember to download programs supporting WPK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with WPK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WPK file still does not use the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it means no association. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WPK file with the Nero Multimedia Suite program.
Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Nero Multimedia Suite program, it is possible that Nero Wave Editor Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Nero AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WPK 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WPK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WPK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WPK files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair WPK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nero, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WPK 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WPK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WPK file again. However, some background programs may block the WPK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
