How to open XMWX file?

The most common problem when using SofTest Working Data Format is that a specific XMWX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XMWX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMWX 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 SofTest

The first step is to check if the computer has the SofTest program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SofTest in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XMWX with SofTest. Below is a list of programs that support the file XMWX.

Programs to open XMWX file

Remember to download programs supporting XMWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SofTest with XMWX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XMWX file still does not use the SofTest program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 XMWX file with the SofTest program.

Step 3. Update SofTest to the latest version

If, however, after binding SofTest with SofTest Working Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ExamSoft Worldwide Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMWX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XMWX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 XMWX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XMWX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMWX file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMWX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMWX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XMWX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XMWX to close. However, some background programs may block the XMWX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
