The KWF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the KWF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the KWF file on each system platform.
What is KWF file?
The file with the extension KWF is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Delphi Pascal Chart is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Delphi. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open KWF file?
The most common problem when using Delphi Pascal Chart is that a specific KWF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KWF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KWF 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 Delphi
The first step is to check if the computer has the Delphi program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Delphi in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support KWF files.
Programs to open KWF file
Remember to download programs supporting KWF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with KWF files
If, despite the installed application, the KWF file does not start in the Delphi application, you must create a file 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KWF file with the Delphi program.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Delphi program with the Delphi Pascal Chart file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KWF 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 KWF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KWF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KWF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KWF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KWF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KWF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move KWF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
