Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with DB2VW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DB2VW file still does not use the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it means no association.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DB2VW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DB2VW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DB2VW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DB2VW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DB2VW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DB2VW 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DB2VW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DB2VW files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DB2VW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DB2VW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
