How to open 016 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 016 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install 7-Zip
In this case, you should first verify that the 7-Zip application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 7-Zip in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 016 files.
Programs to open 016 file
Remember to download programs supporting 016 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 016 files
If, despite the installed application, the 016 file does not start in the 7-Zip application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 016 file with the 7-Zip program.
Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 16) requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Igor Pavlov page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 016 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 016 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 016 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 016 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 016 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 016 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Igor Pavlov, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 016 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the 016 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 016 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 016 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 016 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
