How to open 017 file?
The most common problem when using Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 17) is that a specific 017 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 017, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 017 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 7-Zip 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file 017.
Programs to open 017 file
Remember to download programs supporting 017 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 017 files
If, despite the installed application, the 017 file does not start in the 7-Zip application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 7-Zip application as the default for handling the 017 file.
Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 7-Zip program with the Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 17) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 017 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The 017 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 017 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 017 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 017 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 017 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 017 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Igor Pavlov help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 017 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 017 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 017 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 017 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 017 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
