How to open INFO-29 file?

The most common problem when using Cygwin Info is that a specific INFO-29 is not associated with the program. This causes the file INFO-29 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-29 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Cygwin application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Cygwin into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support INFO-29 files.

Programs to open INFO-29 file

Remember to download programs supporting INFO-29 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-29 files

If, despite the installed application, the INFO-29 file does not start in the Cygwin application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. 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 INFO-29 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. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Red Hat, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-29 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The INFO-29 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the INFO-29 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file INFO-29 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INFO-29 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of INFO-29 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair INFO-29 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted INFO-29 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move INFO-29 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the INFO-29 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the INFO-29 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
