Sources of FPR Problems
Common Problems Opening FPR Files
Fortify Static Code Analyzer Disappeared
Double-clicking your FPR file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open FPR File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Fortify Static Code Analyzer isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When another FPR application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Fortify Static Code Analyzer is Out-of-Date
It is possible that your version of Fortify Static Code Analyzer isn't able to open your Audit Workbench Project file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Fortify Static Code Analyzer from Hewlett-Packard is recommended. Your Audit Workbench Project file was probably created by a newer release of Fortify Static Code Analyzer than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Investigate your FPR file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening FPR files are due to having the wrong version of Fortify Static Code Analyzer installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading FPR Files
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Fortify Static Code Analyzer will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening FPR files. Problems unrelated to software:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for FPR
- Accidental deletion of the description of the FPR file in the Windows registry
- Corrupt install of Fortify Static Code Analyzer or other FPR-related program
- Your FPR can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- The FPR is infected with a virus
- Hardware related to FPRs has device driver corruption
- Windows cannot load your Audit Workbench Project file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
