Programs to open WSB file
Remember to download programs supporting WSB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SharePoint Server with WSB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WSB file still does not use the Microsoft SharePoint Server program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WSB file with the Microsoft SharePoint Server application.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WSB file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WSB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WSB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WSB 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WSB file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WSB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WSB to a different directory.
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 WSB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
