How to open R05 file?

The most common problem when using Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 7) is that a specific R05 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open R05, 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 R05 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 WinRAR

The first step is to check if the computer has the WinRAR program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinRAR in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file R05 with WinRAR. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open R05 files.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R05 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R05 file still does not use the WinRAR program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 R05 file with the WinRAR program.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WinRAR program, it is possible that Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 7) requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the win.rar GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R05 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to R05 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the R05 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected R05 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R05 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R05 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Eugene Roshal, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R05 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move R05 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the R05 file again. However, some background programs may block the R05 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
