JWW Troubleshooting
Typical JWW Opening Challenges
Java Web-Workflows Not Present
When trying to open your JWW file, you get the error "Can't Open JWW File Type". Customarily, this means that Java Web-Workflows is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your JWW because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: Another JWW-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Java Web-Workflows Requires Update
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Java Web-Workflows installed that's incompatible with your Java Web-Workflows Data type. If you've got the wrong version of Java Web-Workflows installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Java Web-Workflows Data file was created by a newer Java Web-Workflows than what you have installed.
Tip: Investigate your JWW file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening JWW files are due to having the wrong version of Java Web-Workflows installed.
Other Causes of JWW File Opening Problems
Even with the correct version of Java Web-Workflows installed, you can still experience difficulties opening JWWs. If you are still having problems opening JWW files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- JWW file type Registry entries are wrong
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry JWW description
- Partial installation of Java Web-Workflows that did not fully complete
- Your JWW file is corrupted (issues with your Java Web-Workflows Data file itself)
- The JWW is infected with a virus
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your JWW file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Java Web-Workflows Data format
