If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WVP file still does not use the Virtual Package Editor program, it means no association. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WVP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The WVP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WVP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WVP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WVP 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 WVP 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 WVP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WVP 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. Copying the WVP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WVP to close. However, some background programs may block the WVP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
