Step 2. Create association of East Indian Company with EIC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EIC file to open in the East Indian Company application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EIC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The EIC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EIC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 EIC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EIC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EIC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EIC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nitro Games Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EIC 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. If possible, you can try to move the EIC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EIC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
