How to open FW4 file?
An often recurring problem with Framework IV is that FW4 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FW4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FW4 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 Framework

Programs to open FW4 file
Remember to download programs supporting FW4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Framework with FW4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FW4 file still does not use the Framework 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 FW4 file with the Framework application.
Step 3. Update Framework to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Framework program, it is possible that Framework IV requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Selections & Functions, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FW4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FW4 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FW4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FW4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FW4 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 FW4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Selections & Functions, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FW4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FW4 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FW4 to close. 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.
