What is EWC file?
The file with the extension EWC is the Settings Files file type. The creator of this file is EW Avionics. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. EWView Configuration is supported by 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 EWView for MS-DOS to handle this file. This is a program created by EW Avionics.
How to open EWC file?
The most common problem when using EWView Configuration is that a specific EWC is not associated with the program. This causes the file EWC 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 EWC 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 EWView for MS-DOS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EWView for MS-DOS is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing EWView for MS-DOS into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EWC with EWView for MS-DOS. Below you will find a list of applications that support EWC files.
Programs to open EWC file
Remember to download programs supporting EWC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EWView for MS-DOS with EWC files
If, despite the installed application, the EWC file does not start in the EWView for MS-DOS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 EWView for MS-DOS application as the default for handling the EWC file.
Step 3. Update EWView for MS-DOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EWView for MS-DOS program, it is possible that EWView Configuration requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the EW Avionics page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EWC 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 EWC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EWC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EWC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EWC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EWC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EWC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact EW Avionics
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EWC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the EWC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EWC file again. However, some background programs may block the EWC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
