What is BWZ file?
The BWZ file has been categorized as Disk Image Files. It was designed by Gilles Vollant. Disk Image Files consists of 203 similar files. WinImage Batch Configuration Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use WinImage to handle this file. This is a program created by Gilles Vollant Software.
How to open BWZ file?
The most common problem when using WinImage Batch Configuration Format is that a specific BWZ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BWZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BWZ 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 WinImage
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinImage is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinImage in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BWZ with WinImage. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BWZ files.
Programs to open BWZ file
Remember to download programs supporting BWZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinImage with BWZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BWZ file still does not use the WinImage 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinImage application as the default for handling the BWZ file.
Step 3. Update WinImage to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinImage program with the WinImage Batch Configuration Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gilles Vollant Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BWZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BWZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BWZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BWZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BWZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BWZ files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BWZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Gilles Vollant help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BWZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BWZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BWZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BWZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
