How to open INFO-27 file?

The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-27 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open INFO-27, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-27 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file INFO-27 with Cygwin. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open INFO-27 files.

Programs to open INFO-27 file

Remember to download programs supporting INFO-27 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-27 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-27 file to open in the Cygwin 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the INFO-27 file with the Cygwin program.

Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version

If, however, after binding Cygwin with Cygwin Info there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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-27 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 INFO-27 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INFO-27 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INFO-27 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected INFO-27 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of INFO-27 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-27 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Red Hat, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-27 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the INFO-27 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-27 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
