Step 1. Install Wireshark

Programs to open VWR file
Remember to download programs supporting VWR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wireshark with VWR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VWR file to open in the Wireshark 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 Wireshark application as the default for handling the VWR file.
Step 3. Update Wireshark to the latest version
If, however, after binding Wireshark with Ixia IxVeriWave RAW 802.11 Capture there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gerald Combs website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VWR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VWR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VWR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VWR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of VWR 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VWR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VWR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the VWR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 VWR file again. However, some background programs may block the VWR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
