How to open C47 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive is that a specific C47 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open C47, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C47 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinACE Archiver is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinACE Archiver in it. 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 C47 files.
Programs to open C47 file
Remember to download programs supporting C47 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C47 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C47 file still does not use the WinACE Archiver program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 C47 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 C47 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 C47 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the C47 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C47 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected C47 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the C47 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 C47 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact e-merge GmbH
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C47 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move C47 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the C47 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
