WID File Complications


Issues Opening WID Files

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Removed

You attempt to load your WID file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The WID File Extension". Customarily, this means that SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your WID file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Outdated SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence

In other instances, your SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence File file version may not be supported by your version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence. Visit the SAP website to download (or purchase) the latest version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence. This issue mainly occurs when your SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence File file was created by a newer version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence than you have on your PC.


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


Regardless, most of the WID file opening problems relate to not having the right version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence installed.


Other WID File Issues

Assuming you have the right SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening WID files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening WID files. Additional factors include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for WID are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the WID file in the Windows registry
  • Invalid installation of a WID-associated program (eg. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence)
  • WID file corruption
  • Your WID is infected with malware
  • Hardware related to WIDs has device driver corruption
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence File files
