How to open RPW file?

The main problem with RPWiz Project is that the RPW file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RPW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPW 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 RPWiz

In this case, you should first verify that the RPWiz application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RPWiz into the operating system search engine. 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 RPW files.

Programs to open RPW file

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

Step 2. Create association of RPWiz with RPW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RPW file to open in the RPWiz application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 RPW file with the RPWiz application.

Step 3. Update RPWiz to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the RPWiz program, it is possible that RPWiz Project requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPW 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 RPW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RPW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RPW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RPW files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RPW file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RPW 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RPW file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RPW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RPW file again. However, some background programs may block the RPW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
