The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Z06 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the WinZip program installed. To do this, enter the name WinZip into the system search engine.

Programs to open Z06 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z06 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with Z06 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Z06 file to open in the WinZip 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. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinZip application as the default for handling the Z06 file.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinZip with Split Multi-volume ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 7) 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 WinZip Computing, S.L. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the Z06 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 Z06 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the Z06 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our Z06 file. However, remember that not every infected Z06 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the Z06 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged Z06 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting WinZip Computing, S.L., 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 Z06 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move Z06 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the Z06 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file Z06 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
