How to open ZWS file?
The most common problem when using ZiLOG Developer Studio Workspace is that a specific ZWS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ZWS 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 ZWS 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 ZiLOG Developer Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZiLOG Developer Studio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ZiLOG Developer Studio into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZWS files.
Programs to open ZWS file
Remember to download programs supporting ZWS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZiLOG Developer Studio with ZWS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZWS file to open in the ZiLOG Developer Studio 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZWS file with the ZiLOG Developer Studio program.
Step 3. Update ZiLOG Developer Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding ZiLOG Developer Studio with ZiLOG Developer Studio Workspace 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 Zilog Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZWS 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 ZWS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZWS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZWS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZWS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZWS 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZWS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Zilog Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZWS 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. It is best to move ZWS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZWS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
