How to open Z14 file?
The main problem with Split Multi-volume ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 15) is that the Z14 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open Z14, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the Z14 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. This can be achieved by typing WinZip into the operating system search engine. 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 Z14 files.
Programs to open Z14 file
Remember to download programs supporting Z14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with Z14 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the Z14 file to open in the WinZip application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinZip application as the default for handling the Z14 file.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinZip program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 15) requires a newer version of the program. 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 Z14 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 Z14 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the Z14 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected Z14 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 Z14 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular Z14 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WinZip Computing, S.L.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file Z14 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. It is best to move Z14 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the Z14 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 Z14 to close. 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.
