Button: Open Function: Open Error Type: Requested operation requires elevation

Description:

When trying to open a .WXF file by double-clicking it, you get this error message;

"The requested operation requires elevation"

 

The file can be opened if using HydraCALC to open the file by going to the menu [File|Open]

Solutions:

Cause:

The designated application for a .WXF file has likely been modified
Solution:

1. Open Windows Explorer and find any .WXF file.

 

2. Right-click it and select PROPERTIES

 

3. In the GENERAL tab, select CHANGE

 

4. If NOTEPAD is available, select it, otherwise select 'more apps' then scroll down to select NOTEPAD.  Click OK.

 

5. Verify you can double click a .WXF it and it opens in Notepad.  Close the file.

 

6.  Repeat from Step 2 above, but in Step 4, select HYD_PROG.EXE.  If it isn't at the top of the list, you can navigate to C:\HES\HydraCALC\Ver50\Programs and find it there.
