How to open C45 file?

Step 1. Install WinACE Archiver

Programs to open C45 file

Remember to download programs supporting C45 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C45 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C45 file still does not use the WinACE Archiver program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 C45 file with the WinACE Archiver application.

Step 3. Update WinACE Archiver to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinACE Archiver with Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the e-merge GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C45 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:

The C45 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to C45 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C45 file. However, remember that not every infected C45 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of C45 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C45 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact e-merge GmbH
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C45 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move C45 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the C45 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
