CARE-S InfoWorks Inflow appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open QIN file?
The main problem with CARE-S InfoWorks Inflow is that the QIN file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open QIN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QIN 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 CARE-S
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CARE-S is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CARE-S into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file QIN with CARE-S. Below you will find a list of applications that support QIN files.
Programs to open QIN file
Remember to download programs supporting QIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CARE-S with QIN files
If, despite the installed application, the QIN file does not start in the CARE-S application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CARE-S application as the default for handling the QIN file.
Step 3. Update CARE-S to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CARE-S program, it is possible that CARE-S InfoWorks Inflow requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SINTEF page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QIN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 QIN file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 QIN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QIN files changes over time. 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.
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 QIN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SINTEF
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QIN 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.
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. Copying the QIN file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QIN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QIN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
