How to open EXA file?

The most common problem when using Examine32 Saved Search Paramaters is that a specific EXA is not associated with the program. This causes the file EXA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EXA 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 Examine32

In this case, you should first verify that the Examine32 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Examine32 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EXA with Examine32. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EXA files.

Programs to open EXA file

Remember to download programs supporting EXA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Examine32 with EXA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EXA file still does not use the Examine32 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EXA file with the Examine32 program.

Step 3. Update Examine32 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Examine32 program with the Examine32 Saved Search Paramaters file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Aquila Software website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EXA 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:

The EXA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EXA file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EXA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EXA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EXA 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EXA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Aquila Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EXA 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the EXA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EXA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EXA to close. However, some background programs may block the EXA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
