How to open FWL file?
An often recurring problem with FileWrangler EXE Library is that FWL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FWL 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 FWL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileWrangler is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FileWrangler in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FWL with FileWrangler.

Programs to open FWL file
Remember to download programs supporting FWL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileWrangler with FWL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FWL file to open in the FileWrangler application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FWL file with the FileWrangler program.
Step 3. Update FileWrangler to the latest version
If, however, after binding FileWrangler with FileWrangler EXE Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the CursorArts Company website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FWL 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FWL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FWL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FWL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FWL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CursorArts Company
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FWL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move FWL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FWL file again. However, some background programs may block the FWL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
