How to open R47 file?

The main problem with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 49) is that the R47 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open R47, 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 R47 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

In this case, you should first verify that the WinRAR application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinRAR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support R47 files.

Programs to open R47 file

Remember to download programs supporting R47 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R47 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R47 file to open in the WinRAR 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WinRAR application as the default for handling the R47 file.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinRAR with Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed Format Archive (part 49) 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 R47 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the R47 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our R47 file. Sometimes virus-infected R47 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the R47 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R47 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file R47 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move R47 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R47 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
