Understanding WFK Issues

Troubles Opening WFK Files

Missing Delphi (IDE)

When you double-click your WFK file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Delphi (IDE) for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WFK file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your WFK file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Delphi (IDE) Requires Update

Your Delphi Data File file is incompatible with Delphi (IDE) because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Delphi (IDE) installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Delphi Data File file was probably created by a newer release of Delphi (IDE) than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your WFK file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Summary: Not having the right Delphi (IDE) version on your computer can cause problems opening WFK files.

Other Causes of WFK File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Delphi (IDE) will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening WFK files. These issues include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for WFK are wrong
• Unintentional removal of the description of the WFK file inside the Windows Registry
• Delphi (IDE) or another WFK application experienced a flawed installation
• WFK file corruption
• Your WFK has adversely impacted by malware
• Hardware related to WFKs has device driver corruption
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Delphi Data File file
