How to open IXC file?

Step 1. Install ArcView

Programs to open IXC file
Remember to download programs supporting IXC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcView with IXC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IXC file still does not use the ArcView 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IXC file with the ArcView application.
Step 3. Update ArcView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArcView program, it is possible that ArcView Geocoding Index For Read-write Coverages requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Esri website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IXC 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IXC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 IXC file. Sometimes virus-infected IXC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IXC 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IXC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Esri, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IXC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 IXC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IXC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IXC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
