What is EWM file?
The file with the extension EWM is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by EW Avionics. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. EWView Geographic Data appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is EWView for MS-DOS. This was created by EW Avionics.
How to open EWM file?
The most common problem when using EWView Geographic Data is that a specific EWM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EWM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EWM 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
In this case, you should first verify that the EWView for MS-DOS application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name EWView for MS-DOS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EWM with EWView for MS-DOS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EWM files.
Programs to open EWM file
Remember to download programs supporting EWM 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 EWM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EWM file to open in the EWView for MS-DOS application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EWM file with the EWView for MS-DOS application.
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 Geographic Data 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 EWM 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EWM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EWM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EWM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EWM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EWM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EW Avionics, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EWM 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. If possible, you can try to move the EWM file to another location.
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 EWM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EWM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
