How to open ZWT file?
An often recurring problem with ControlWave Designer Zipped Project is that ZWT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ZWT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZWT 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 ControlWave Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ControlWave Designer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ControlWave Designer 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 ZWT with ControlWave Designer. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZWT files.
Programs to open ZWT file
Remember to download programs supporting ZWT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ControlWave Designer with ZWT files
If, despite the installed application, the ZWT file does not start in the ControlWave Designer application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZWT file with the ControlWave Designer program.
Step 3. Update ControlWave Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding ControlWave Designer with ControlWave Designer Zipped Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Emerson Electric Co. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZWT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ZWT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZWT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZWT file. Sometimes virus-infected ZWT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZWT files changes over time. 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 ZWT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Emerson Electric Co.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZWT 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ZWT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZWT file again. However, some background programs may block the ZWT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
