How to open INFO-28 file?
An often recurring problem with Cygwin Info is that INFO-28 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file INFO-28 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-28 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Cygwin in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-28 files.
Programs to open INFO-28 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-28 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-28 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-28 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cygwin application as the default for handling the INFO-28 file.
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. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Red Hat, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-28 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the INFO-28 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INFO-28 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected INFO-28 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of INFO-28 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INFO-28 files. 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-28 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the INFO-28 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-28 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-28 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
