Understanding WCX Issues


Common Problems Opening WCX Files

Remote Desktop Manager Disappeared

If you attempt to load your WCX file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open WCX Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Remote Desktop Manager missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your WCX file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Obsolete Version of Remote Desktop Manager

It is possible that your version of Remote Desktop Manager isn't able to open your RemoteApp And Desktop Connections Configuration File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Remote Desktop Manager version from the Devolutions website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your RemoteApp And Desktop Connections Configuration File file was created by a newer Remote Desktop Manager than what you have installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of WCX file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Conclusion: The majority of WCX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Remote Desktop Manager version installed.
