How to open RF2 file?
The main problem with SmartWare Runtime Project is that the RF2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RF2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RF2 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 SmartWare
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SmartWare is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SmartWare into the operating 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 RF2.
Programs to open RF2 file
Remember to download programs supporting RF2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartWare with RF2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RF2 file to open in the SmartWare 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RF2 file with the SmartWare application.
Step 3. Update SmartWare to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SmartWare program with the SmartWare Runtime Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SmartWare Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RF2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RF2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RF2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RF2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RF2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RF2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SmartWare Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RF2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the RF2 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RF2 to close. However, some background programs may block the RF2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
