How to open JDW file?
An often recurring problem with BlackBerry JDE is that JDW is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open JDW, 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 JDW 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 BlackBerry JDE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BlackBerry JDE is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BlackBerry JDE in it.

Programs to open JDW file
Remember to download programs supporting JDW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BlackBerry JDE with JDW files
If, despite the installed application, the JDW file does not start in the BlackBerry JDE application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JDW file with the BlackBerry JDE application.
Step 3. Update BlackBerry JDE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BlackBerry JDE program with the BlackBerry JDE file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BlackBerry (Research In Motion Limited) page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JDW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The JDW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JDW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JDW file. Sometimes virus-infected JDW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JDW 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JDW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact BlackBerry (Research In Motion Limited)
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JDW 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move JDW 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the JDW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
