The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C50 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

Programs to open C50 file
Remember to download programs supporting C50 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C50 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C50 file still does not use the WinACE Archiver 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinACE Archiver application as the default for handling the C50 file.
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. 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 C50 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 C50 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our C50 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C50 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C50 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C50 files. 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C50 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the C50 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C50 to close. However, some background programs may block the C50 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
