The SISX file extension is a type of compressed component used by the Symbian OS mobile operating system. It is capable of storing all type of installation packages like .app, .sis, .exe, .jar, and proprietary applications. SISX files can be either local or over-the-air installation package, designed to install or update existing applications on mobile phones.
The SISX File Structure
The SISX file structure consists the following components: file header, file body, signature block, XML descriptor, and binary block. The file header provides information about the type of installation package and the checksum of the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm applied to the entire package. The file body includes metadata that describe installation parameters. The signature block is a digital signature containing information about the author and condition set for the file. The XML descriptor is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) formatted metadata that provides details about the content contained in the binary block. Finally, the binary block contains all data components necessary for installation.
Similar File Extensions
Similar file extensions in Symbian OS include .sisx, .sis, .wgz, .jar, and .exe.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SISX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SISX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SISX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SISX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SISX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SISX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SISX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SISX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SISX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SISX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
