How to open R30 file?

An often recurring problem with WinRAR Split Archive Part 30 is that R30 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open R30, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R30 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 RARLAB RAR

In this case, you should first verify that the RARLAB RAR application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RARLAB RAR into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open R30 files.

Step 2. Create association of RARLAB RAR with R30 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R30 file to open in the RARLAB RAR application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R30 file with the RARLAB RAR program.

Step 3. Update RARLAB RAR to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RARLAB RAR program with the WinRAR Split Archive Part 30 file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R30 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:

The R30 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the R30 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R30 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R30 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R30 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R30 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R30 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the R30 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file R30 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R30 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
