How to open QVW file?
The most common problem when using QlikView Document is that a specific QVW is not associated with the program. This causes the file QVW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QVW 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 QlikView
The first step is to check if the computer has the QlikView program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QlikView in it. 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 QVW.
Programs to open QVW file
Remember to download programs supporting QVW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QlikView with QVW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QVW file still does not use the QlikView program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QVW file with the QlikView application.
Step 3. Update QlikView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QlikView program with the QlikView Document 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 QlikTech International AB page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QVW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QVW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QVW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QVW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected QVW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of QVW 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QVW files. You can restore the file from a backup or use QlikTech International help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QVW 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QVW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QVW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QVW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
