Programs to open FRW file

Step 2. Create association of RollerCoaster Tycoon with FRW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FRW file still does not use the RollerCoaster Tycoon 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 FRW file with the RollerCoaster Tycoon application.

Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Atari, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FRW file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FRW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FRW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FRW 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Atari, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FRW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the FRW file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FRW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRW to close. However, some background programs may block the FRW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
