What is EOO file?
The file with the extension EOO is the GIS Files file type. In addition to this file, the GIS Files category includes 255 related files. ArcInfo Workstation Export is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open EOO file?
An often recurring problem with ArcInfo Workstation Export is that EOO is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EOO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EOO 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 ArcGIS Desktop
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArcGIS Desktop is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ArcGIS Desktop into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EOO with ArcGIS Desktop. Below is a list of programs that support the file EOO.
Programs to open EOO file
Remember to download programs supporting EOO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Desktop with EOO files
If, despite the installed application, the EOO file does not start in the ArcGIS Desktop 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EOO file with the ArcGIS Desktop application.
Step 3. Update ArcGIS Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArcGIS Desktop program with the ArcInfo Workstation Export file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Esri page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EOO 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EOO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EOO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected EOO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of EOO 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EOO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EOO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the EOO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EOO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EOO file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
