The Cygwin application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Red Hat, Inc..

How to open INFO-11 file?

The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-11 is not associated with the program. This causes the file INFO-11 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-11 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 Cygwin

The first step is to check if the computer has the Cygwin program installed. To do this, enter the name Cygwin into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file INFO-11.

Programs to open INFO-11 file

Remember to download programs supporting INFO-11 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-11 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the INFO-11 file still does not use the Cygwin program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INFO-11 file with the Cygwin application.

Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Cygwin program with the Cygwin Info file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Red Hat, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-11 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The INFO-11 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the INFO-11 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INFO-11 file. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-11 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 INFO-11 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-11 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Red Hat, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-11 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 INFO-11 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the INFO-11 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the INFO-11 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
