How to open EWP file?
An often recurring problem with Ewisoft Website Project Format is that EWP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EWP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EWP 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 eCommerce Website Builder
In this case, you should first verify that the eCommerce Website Builder application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing eCommerce Website Builder 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 EWP with eCommerce Website Builder. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EWP files.
Programs to open EWP file
Remember to download programs supporting EWP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of eCommerce Website Builder with EWP files
If, despite the installed application, the EWP file does not start in the eCommerce Website Builder application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EWP file with the eCommerce Website Builder application.
Step 3. Update eCommerce Website Builder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the eCommerce Website Builder program with the Ewisoft Website Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Ewisoft Co. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EWP 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 EWP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EWP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EWP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected EWP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EWP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EWP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ewisoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EWP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the EWP 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EWP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EWP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
