CDMP File Complications


Typical CDMP Opening Challenges

Microsoft Windows Disappeared

If you attempt to load your CDMP file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open CDMP Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your CDMP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your CDMP, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows

Your WCS Device Model Profile file is incompatible with Microsoft Windows because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your WCS Device Model Profile file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Windows than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your CDMP, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening CDMP files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows installed on your computer.


More Causes of Problems Opening CDMPs

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Windows installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CDMPs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening CDMPs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • CDMP file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the CDMP file in the Windows registry
  • Microsoft Windows or another CDMP application experienced a flawed installation
  • File corruption affecting your CDMP file
