How to open PART1.EXE file?

Programs to open PART1.EXE file

Remember to download programs supporting PART1.EXE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with PART1.EXE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PART1.EXE file to open in the WinRAR application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PART1.EXE file with the WinRAR program.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinRAR with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Self-extracting Format Archive (part 1) 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 win.rar GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PART1.EXE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PART1.EXE file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PART1.EXE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PART1.EXE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PART1.EXE 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PART1.EXE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eugene Roshal help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PART1.EXE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move PART1.EXE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PART1.EXE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PART1.EXE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
