How to open GWT file?
The main problem with SpaceStat Generalized Weights Format is that the GWT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open GWT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GWT 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 SpaceStat
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SpaceStat is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SpaceStat 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 GWT.
Programs to open GWT file
Remember to download programs supporting GWT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SpaceStat with GWT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GWT file to open in the SpaceStat application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GWT file with the SpaceStat program.
Step 3. Update SpaceStat to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SpaceStat program, it is possible that SpaceStat Generalized Weights Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BioMedware page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GWT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GWT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GWT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GWT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GWT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GWT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GWT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 GWT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GWT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
