Troubleshooting Problems Opening WPK Files


Troubles Opening WPK Files

Corel WordPerfect X8 Removed

You attempt to load your WPK file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The WPK File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Corel WordPerfect X8 missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WPK file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When another WPK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Corel WordPerfect X8 Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of Corel WordPerfect X8 won't support your WordPerfect Macro file. Download the latest Corel WordPerfect X8 version from the Corel website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a WordPerfect Macro file version that was created by a newer version of Corel WordPerfect X8 than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your WPK file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening WPK files are due to having the incorrect version of Corel WordPerfect X8 installed on your computer.


Additional WPK Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening WPK files even with the latest version of Corel WordPerfect X8 installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening WPK files. Other contributing causes:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for WPK are wrong
  • Deletion of the WPK file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the WPK format
  • The WPK itself is corrupted
  • Your WPK has adversely impacted by malware
  • Device drivers for WPK-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your WordPerfect Macro file
