How to open Z02 file?

An often recurring problem with WinZip Second Split Zip Format is that Z02 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open Z02, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Z02 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 The Unarchiver

In this case, you should first verify that the The Unarchiver application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing The Unarchiver into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support Z02 files.

Step 2. Create association of The Unarchiver with Z02 files

If, despite the installed application, the Z02 file does not start in the The Unarchiver application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the Z02 file with the The Unarchiver application.

Step 3. Update The Unarchiver to the latest version

If, however, after binding The Unarchiver with WinZip Second Split Zip Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Dag ?gren/WAHa.06x36 website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z02 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:

The Z02 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the Z02 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Z02 file. Sometimes virus-infected Z02 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 Z02 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged Z02 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted Z02 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.
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. It is best to move Z02 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the Z02 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the Z02 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.
