How to open WXP file?
The most common problem when using EXP For Windows Document is that a specific WXP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WXP, 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 WXP 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 EXP
The first step is to check if the computer has the EXP program installed. This can be achieved by typing EXP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WXP with EXP. Below you will find a list of applications that support WXP files.
Programs to open WXP file
Remember to download programs supporting WXP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EXP with WXP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WXP file to open in the EXP 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EXP application as the default for handling the WXP file.
Step 3. Update EXP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EXP program, it is possible that EXP For Windows Document requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symbol Dynamics website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WXP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The WXP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WXP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WXP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WXP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WXP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WXP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symbol Dynamics
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WXP 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WXP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WXP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WXP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
