How to open WSPAK file?

An often recurring problem with WebsitePanel Backup Format is that WSPAK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WSPAK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WSPAK 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 WebsitePanel

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WebsitePanel is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WebsitePanel into the 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 WSPAK.

Programs to open WSPAK file

Remember to download programs supporting WSPAK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WebsitePanel with WSPAK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WSPAK file to open in the WebsitePanel application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WSPAK file with the WebsitePanel program.

Step 3. Update WebsitePanel to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WebsitePanel program, it is possible that WebsitePanel Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Orchard website and install the latest version.

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

The WSPAK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WSPAK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WSPAK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WSPAK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WSPAK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WSPAK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use WebsitePanel help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WSPAK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WSPAK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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 WSPAK file again. 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.
