Opening a "wba" extention

May 15, 2002 12:49:27 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I'm using WindowsXP and for the life of me, whatever skin I download and unzip with Winzip gives me the message that Windows cannot open the file with a wba extention. Does anyone have a cure for this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

why open it? just leave it in your windowblinds directory and let it read it. It'll do just fine.

Doris, do you have Windowblinds installed? If not, go to http://www.windowblinds.net/ download and install it then you'll have no problems using .wba files.

Sometimes it is useful/interesting to have a look what's inside a .wba file (e.g. fonts, wallpaper, etc) before installing it.

Try putting a shortcut to WinZip in your SendTo folder. Then you can right-click on a .wba file and select Send To > WinZip. The same trick will work for a lot of skin files which are really just renamed .zip files e.g. .obtheme, .ip, etc.

Indeed, as everybody said.
But I believe your problem is probably answered by davad70: you need to install (and preferably purchase) Windowblinds (http://www.windowblinds.net) in order to use Windowblinds skins (which al have the wba extension).
