Understanding FPW Issues


Issues Opening FPW Files

Microsoft Visual FoxPro Disappeared

You attempt to load your FPW file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The FPW File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your FPW with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens FPW files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Microsoft Visual FoxPro Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a FoxPro Configuration file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Your FoxPro Configuration file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual FoxPro than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Regardless, most of the FPW file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed.


Other FPW File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Visual FoxPro version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening FPW files. If you're still experiencing problems opening FPW files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for FPW
  • Corruption of the FPW file description inside the Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the FPW format
  • Your FPW file is corrupted (issues with your FoxPro Configuration file itself)
  • Your FPW is infected with malware
  • Hardware associated with FPW has outdated drivers
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the FoxPro Configuration format
