What is EVN file?
The EVN file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Retrosheet. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Retrosheet Event appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open EVN file?
The most common problem when using Retrosheet Event is that a specific EVN is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EVN 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 EVN 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 Retrosheet
In this case, you should first verify that the Retrosheet application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Retrosheet into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EVN files.
Programs to open EVN file
Remember to download programs supporting EVN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Retrosheet with EVN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EVN file to open in the Retrosheet 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Retrosheet application as the default for handling the EVN file.
Step 3. Update Retrosheet to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Retrosheet program, it is possible that Retrosheet Event requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Retrosheet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EVN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EVN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EVN file. Sometimes virus-infected EVN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EVN files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EVN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Retrosheet
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EVN 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.
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 EVN 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EVN to close. However, some background programs may block the EVN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
