How to open IN_ file?
The most common problem when using Microcoft Setup Information is that a specific IN_ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IN_, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IN_ 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 Microsoft Windows

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with IN_ files
If, despite the installed application, the IN_ file does not start in the Microsoft Windows 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IN_ file with the Microsoft Windows application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microcoft Setup Information there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IN_ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IN_ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IN_ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IN_ 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 IN_ 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IN_ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IN_ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IN_ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IN_ 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 IN_ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IN_ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
