Opening a WUP File
The WUP file type is primarily associated with WhatsUp Gold.
What is a WUP file?
WUP files mostly belong to WhatsUp Gold. WUP files are not a single type of file; they are used by different programs for distinct purposes.
For instance, WhatsUp Gold creates WUP files as network map data. These files hold details about network devices and connections. Use the original network management software to view these files. For more details, visit this webpage.
In another use case, the Weinmann WUP Editor uses WUP files as wood wall data files. They store design information for specific wall or structural layouts. Open these files with the Weinmann WUP Editor to view or modify the design data.
Additionally, some WUP files serve as Wii U update packages. These files are used by the Wii U Package Installer to update system software. For further guidance, users can refer to this resource.

WUP file format:
Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the WUP files produces the following result:
WUP is not a common file extension and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 45% of all WUP files are associated with WhatsUp Gold network map. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. WUP files can be up to 98 KB in size, but are often around 3 KB - 29 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Arial, CWUObjectHost and WhatsUp1<.
- 25% of all WUP files start with the bytes VERSION , which are crucial for this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. Most of these files are 2 KB to 68 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. VERSION 3.3;. Such files are related to vesws.
The remaining 30% of all WUP files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. WPD. If you want to find out what your WUP file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
