How to open ZX02 file?
An often recurring problem with Extended ZIP Split Archive is that ZX02 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZX02 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZX02 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinZip in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZX02.
Programs to open ZX02 file
Remember to download programs supporting ZX02 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinZip with ZX02 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZX02 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 ZX02 file.
Step 3. Update WinZip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinZip program, it is possible that Extended ZIP Split Archive requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the WinZip Computing, S.L. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZX02 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZX02 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZX02 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZX02 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 ZX02 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZX02 file corruption. 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 ZX02 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ZX02 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZX02 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZX02 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZX02 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
