How to open R57 file?

An often recurring problem with RAR Compressed Formats From A Multi-volume Archive is that R57 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file R57 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R57 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WinRAR in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file R57.

Programs to open R57 file

Remember to download programs supporting R57 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WinRAR with R57 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R57 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 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 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 R57 file with the WinRAR program.

Step 3. Update WinRAR to the latest version

If, however, after binding WinRAR with RAR Compressed Formats From A Multi-volume Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the win.rar GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R57 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to R57 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 R57 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R57 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of R57 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R57 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Eugene Roshal
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted R57 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the R57 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
