How to open EMW file?
The most common problem when using Resident Evil Model is that a specific EMW is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EMW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMW 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 Resident Evil
In this case, you should first verify that the Resident Evil application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Resident Evil in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EMW files.
Programs to open EMW file
Remember to download programs supporting EMW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Resident Evil with EMW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EMW file still does not use the Resident Evil 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EMW file with the Resident Evil application.
Step 3. Update Resident Evil to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Resident Evil program with the Resident Evil Model 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 Capcom Co., Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EMW file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EMW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EMW file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EMW files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Capcom Co., Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EMW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EMW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
