How to open NWB file?

An often recurring problem with Nikon Capture White Balance is that NWB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NWB 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 NWB 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 Nikon Capture

The first step is to check if the computer has the Nikon Capture program installed. This can be achieved by typing Nikon Capture into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NWB with Nikon Capture. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NWB files.

Programs to open NWB file

Remember to download programs supporting NWB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture with NWB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NWB file still does not use the Nikon Capture program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nikon Capture application as the default for handling the NWB file.

Step 3. Update Nikon Capture to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Nikon Capture program, it is possible that Nikon Capture White Balance requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NWB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NWB or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NWB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NWB 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NWB file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NWB 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NWB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NWB file again. However, some background programs may block the NWB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
