How to open 7Z.005 file?

An often recurring problem with Split Multi-volume 7-ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 5) is that 7Z.005 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file 7Z.005 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 7Z.005 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the 7-Zip program installed. This can be achieved by typing 7-Zip into the operating 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 7Z.005.

Programs to open 7Z.005 file

Remember to download programs supporting 7Z.005 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 7Z.005 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 7Z.005 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 7Z.005 file with the 7-Zip program.

Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version

If, despite the association of the 7-Zip program with the Split Multi-volume 7-ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 5) file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Igor Pavlov website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 7Z.005 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 7Z.005 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 7Z.005 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 7Z.005 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 7Z.005 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 7Z.005 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Igor Pavlov help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 7Z.005 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.
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. Copying the 7Z.005 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the 7Z.005 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 7Z.005 to close. However, some background programs may block the 7Z.005 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
