Tips to open WTH file
Can't open the WTH file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open WTH files as well as a list of programs that support WTH files.

The WTH file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WTH files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WTH file on each system platform.
What is WTH file?
The file with the extension WTH is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is NIST. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. ContamX Weather is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is CONTAM. This was created by NIST.
How to open WTH file?
The main problem with ContamX Weather is that the WTH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WTH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WTH 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 CONTAM
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CONTAM is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CONTAM in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WTH files.
Programs to open WTH file
Remember to download programs supporting WTH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CONTAM with WTH files
If, despite the installed application, the WTH file does not start in the CONTAM application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 WTH file with the CONTAM program.
Step 3. Update CONTAM to the latest version
If, however, after binding CONTAM with ContamX Weather there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the NIST website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WTH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WTH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WTH file. Sometimes virus-infected WTH 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 WTH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WTH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NIST, 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 WTH 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WTH file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WTH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WTH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WTH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
