How to open DWPROJ file?
The main problem with DataWindow Designer Project is that the DWPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DWPROJ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWPROJ 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 DataWindow .NET
The first step is to check if the computer has the DataWindow .NET program installed. To do this, enter the name DataWindow .NET into the 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 DWPROJ files.
Programs to open DWPROJ file
Remember to download programs supporting DWPROJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataWindow .NET with DWPROJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DWPROJ file still does not use the DataWindow .NET program, it means no association. 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 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 DataWindow .NET application as the default for handling the DWPROJ file.
Step 3. Update DataWindow .NET to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DataWindow .NET program with the DataWindow Designer Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sybase Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWPROJ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DWPROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DWPROJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DWPROJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DWPROJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DWPROJ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sybase Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DWPROJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DWPROJ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DWPROJ file again. However, some background programs may block the DWPROJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
