Step 1. Install ArcView

Programs to open MXC file
Remember to download programs supporting MXC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcView with MXC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MXC file to open in the ArcView 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArcView application as the default for handling the MXC file.
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may also lie with the ArcView program, it is possible that ArcView Geocoding Index For Read-write Coverages requires a newer version of the program.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 MXC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MXC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MXC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MXC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MXC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 MXC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Esri
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MXC 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. If possible, you can try to move the MXC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MXC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MXC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MXC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
