Update of OpenW for existing users.

 Return to main OpenW page
Latest Update - February 2012

Download the Update.zip (a 1.70mb file)
and save it to your hard disk under the C:\OPENW folder. Then, once the download is complete, 'unzip' the Update.zip file into the C:\OPENW folder, and overwrite the existing openw.mdb file.

Please note : The OpenW update files will be looking for the demo data when it first runs. You can then select your other competition files from the Options, Select Competition buttons. If you need to, you can download the demo.exe file (140k) to your hard disk then run the self extracting file and save the demo files into the C:\OPENW\DEMO folder.

Users are encouraged to check this page regularly for news and the latest updates for their software.


Please note, the current versions of OpenW will not run under Windows Vista (64 bit) or Windows 7 (64 bit).

If you install Windows Virtual Machine (a free download from Microsoft) and a copy of Windows XP and then install the program within that Virtual Machine environment, the program will operate correctly.


Caution: Due to possible problems with 'internal backup' routine, this has been removed from the program.
Please use Windows Explorer or My Computer to 'manually' backup or copy files from competition folder to a disk or USB drive.
