The WFO file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WFO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WFO file on each system platform.
What is WFO file?
The file in the WFO format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Delphi Runimage is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Delphi. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open WFO file?
The main problem with Delphi Runimage is that the WFO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WFO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WFO 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 Delphi
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Delphi is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Delphi in it. 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 WFO files.
Programs to open WFO file
Remember to download programs supporting WFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with WFO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WFO file to open in the Delphi 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Delphi application as the default for handling the WFO file.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Delphi program with the Delphi Runimage file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WFO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WFO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WFO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WFO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WFO file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WFO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WFO 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. If possible, you can try to move the WFO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WFO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WFO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WFO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
