ICW Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening ICW Files

Internet Explorer Not Present

You attempt to load your ICW file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ICW File Extension". Customarily, this means that Internet Explorer is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the ICW file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another ICW application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Incorrect Internet Explorer Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Internet Explorer Internet Connection Wizard Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Internet Explorer version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Internet Explorer Internet Connection Wizard Data file version that was created by a newer version of Internet Explorer than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Investigate your ICW file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening ICW files are due to having the incorrect version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer.
