The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the E05 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 ArcInfo
The first step is to check if the computer has the ArcInfo program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArcInfo in it.

Programs to open E05 file
Remember to download programs supporting E05 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcInfo with E05 files
If, despite the installed application, the E05 file does not start in the ArcInfo 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the E05 file with the ArcInfo application.
Step 3. Update ArcInfo to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArcInfo program, it is possible that ArcInfo Export requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Esri website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the E05 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to E05 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our E05 file. However, remember that not every infected E05 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of E05 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair E05 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Esri
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted E05 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the E05 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the E05 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
