How to open CXARCHIVE file?
The main problem with CrossOver Bottle is that the CXARCHIVE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CXARCHIVE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CXARCHIVE 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 CrossOver
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CrossOver is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CrossOver in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CXARCHIVE files.
Programs to open CXARCHIVE file
Remember to download programs supporting CXARCHIVE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CrossOver with CXARCHIVE files
If, despite the installed application, the CXARCHIVE file does not start in the CrossOver application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CrossOver application as the default for handling the CXARCHIVE file.
Step 3. Update CrossOver to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CrossOver program, it is possible that CrossOver Bottle requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CodeWeavers Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CXARCHIVE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CXARCHIVE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CXARCHIVE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CXARCHIVE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CXARCHIVE 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 CXARCHIVE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CXARCHIVE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CodeWeavers Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CXARCHIVE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CXARCHIVE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CXARCHIVE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
