How to open 7Z.012 file?

An often recurring problem with Split Multi-volume 7-ZIP Compressed Format Archive (part 12) is that 7Z.012 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 7Z.012 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 7Z.012 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. This can be achieved by typing 7-Zip into the operating system search engine. 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 7Z.012.

Programs to open 7Z.012 file

Remember to download programs supporting 7Z.012 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 7Z.012 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 7Z.012 file still does not use the 7-Zip program, it means no association. 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. 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 7Z.012 file.

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 12) 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 Igor Pavlov website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 7Z.012 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The 7Z.012 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 7Z.012 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 7Z.012 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 7Z.012 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 7Z.012 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.
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 7Z.012 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Igor Pavlov
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 7Z.012 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the 7Z.012 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 7Z.012 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 7Z.012 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 7Z.012 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
