How to open 029 file?

The main problem with Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 29) is that the 029 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file 029 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 029 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. To do this, enter the name 7-Zip into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file 029.

Programs to open 029 file

Remember to download programs supporting 029 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 029 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 029 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 7-Zip application as the default for handling the 029 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 29) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 029 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 029 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 029 file. However, remember that not every infected 029 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 029 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 029 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Igor Pavlov
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 029 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 029 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 029 file again. However, some background programs may block the 029 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
