How to open FWT file?

The most common problem when using FacetWin Configuration Format is that a specific FWT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FWT, 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 FWT 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 FacetWin

In this case, you should first verify that the FacetWin application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FacetWin into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file FWT.

Step 2. Create association of FacetWin with FWT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FWT file to open in the FacetWin 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FacetWin application as the default for handling the FWT file.

Step 3. Update FacetWin to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FacetWin program, it is possible that FacetWin Configuration Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the FacetCorp website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FWT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FWT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FWT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FWT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FWT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Facet Corp, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FWT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FWT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FWT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FWT file again. However, some background programs may block the FWT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
