How to open WZCONFIG file?
The main problem with WinZip Configuration Format is that the WZCONFIG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WZCONFIG 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 WZCONFIG 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 WinZip
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinZip is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinZip 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 WZCONFIG with WinZip.

Programs to open WZCONFIG file
Remember to download programs supporting WZCONFIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with WZCONFIG files
If, despite the installed application, the WZCONFIG file does not start in the WinZip application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WZCONFIG file with the WinZip application.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinZip program with the WinZip Configuration Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinZip Computing, S.L. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WZCONFIG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WZCONFIG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WZCONFIG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WZCONFIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WZCONFIG file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WZCONFIG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WZCONFIG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WZCONFIG 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WZCONFIG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WZCONFIG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
