How to open 036 file?

The main problem with Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 36) is that the 036 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that 036 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 036 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 036 files.

Programs to open 036 file

Remember to download programs supporting 036 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 036 files

If, despite the installed application, the 036 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 036 file with the 7-Zip application.

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the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 36) requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Igor Pavlov website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 036 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The 036 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 036 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 036 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 036 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 036 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 036 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Igor Pavlov help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 036 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the 036 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 036 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
