How to open FWB file?
An often recurring problem with FileWrangler Data Backup is that FWB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FWB 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 FWB 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 FileWrangler
The first step is to check if the computer has the FileWrangler program installed. This can be achieved by typing FileWrangler 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 FWB with FileWrangler. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FWB files.
Programs to open FWB file
Remember to download programs supporting FWB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileWrangler with FWB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FWB file still does not use the FileWrangler 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FileWrangler application as the default for handling the FWB file.
Step 3. Update FileWrangler to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FileWrangler program, it is possible that FileWrangler Data Backup requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CursorArts Company website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWB 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 FWB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FWB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FWB file. However, remember that not every infected FWB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FWB files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair FWB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FWB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FWB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FWB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FWB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
