How to open C52 file?
The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive is that a specific C52 is not associated with the program. This causes the file C52 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C52 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 is a list of programs that support the file C52.
Programs to open C52 file
Remember to download programs supporting C52 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C52 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C52 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 C52 file.
Step 3. Update WinACE Archiver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WinACE Archiver program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume ACE Compressed Format Archive requires a newer version of the program. 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 C52 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 C52 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the C52 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the C52 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected C52 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the C52 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged C52 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C52 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the C52 file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C52 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
