How to open WWG file?
An often recurring problem with CARE-S InfoWorks Wastewater Data is that WWG is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WWG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWG 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 CARE-S
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CARE-S is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CARE-S in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WWG files.
Programs to open WWG file
Remember to download programs supporting WWG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CARE-S with WWG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WWG file still does not use the CARE-S program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 CARE-S application as the default for handling the WWG file.
Step 3. Update CARE-S to the latest version
If, however, after binding CARE-S with CARE-S InfoWorks Wastewater Data 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 SINTEF website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WWG 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:
The WWG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WWG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 WWG file. However, remember that not every infected WWG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WWG 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.
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 WWG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SINTEF
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WWG 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. 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 WWG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WWG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WWG file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
