How to open 7Z.001 file?

The main problem with 7-Zip Split Archive Part 1 Format is that the 7Z.001 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that 7Z.001 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 7Z.001 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 StuffIt Deluxe

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StuffIt Deluxe is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name StuffIt Deluxe into the system search engine.

Programs to open 7Z.001 file

Remember to download programs supporting 7Z.001 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of StuffIt Deluxe with 7Z.001 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 7Z.001 file to open in the StuffIt Deluxe application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 7Z.001 file with the StuffIt Deluxe program.

Step 3. Update StuffIt Deluxe to the latest version

If, despite the association of the StuffIt Deluxe program with the 7-Zip Split Archive Part 1 Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 7Z.001 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the 7Z.001 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 7Z.001 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 7Z.001 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 7Z.001 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 7Z.001 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use 7-Zip help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 7Z.001 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. If possible, you can try to move the 7Z.001 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 7Z.001 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 7Z.001 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
