What is ISH file?

Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open ISH file?

The most common problem when using ISH Compressed Archive is that a specific ISH is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ISH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISH 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 HiroRAR

In this case, you should first verify that the HiroRAR application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HiroRAR 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ISH files.

Programs to open ISH file

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

Step 2. Create association of HiroRAR with ISH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISH file to open in the HiroRAR 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HiroRAR application as the default for handling the ISH file.

Step 3. Update HiroRAR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the HiroRAR program, it is possible that ISH Compressed Archive requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISH 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ISH 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ISH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ISH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ISH 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ISH file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ISH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ISH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ISH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
