Step 2. Create association of WinACE Archiver with C54 files

If, despite the installed application, the C54 file does not start in the WinACE Archiver application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C54 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C54 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C54 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected C54 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C54 file. 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.
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 C54 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use e-merge GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C54 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the C54 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the C54 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C54 to close. However, some background programs may block the C54 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
