How to open C39 file?

The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive is that a specific C39 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open C39, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C39 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 WinACE Archiver

In this case, you should first verify that the WinACE Archiver application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinACE Archiver 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 you will find a list of applications that support C39 files.

Programs to open C39 file

Remember to download programs supporting C39 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C39 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C39 file to open in the WinACE Archiver 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the C39 file with the WinACE Archiver program.

Step 3. Update WinACE Archiver to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WinACE Archiver program with the Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the e-merge GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C39 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the C39 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C39 file. However, remember that not every infected C39 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of C39 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 C39 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting e-merge GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file C39 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the C39 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the C39 file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 C39 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
