Programs to open WDV file
Remember to download programs supporting WDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TracePlus/Web Detective with WDV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WDV file still does not use the TracePlus/Web Detective 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WDV file with the TracePlus/Web Detective program.
Step 3. Update TracePlus/Web Detective to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TracePlus/Web Detective program, it is possible that TracePlus Web Detective requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDV 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WDV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WDV 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 WDV 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.
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 WDV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WDV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 WDV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WDV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WDV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
