What is RAE file?
The file in the RAE format belongs to the Encoded Files category. The author of this format is Schlichtherle IT Services. In addition to this file, the Encoded Files category includes 236 related files. TrueZIP Encrypted ZIP Archive is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use TrueZIP to handle this file. This is a program created by Schlichtherle IT Services.
How to open RAE file?
The main problem with TrueZIP Encrypted ZIP Archive is that the RAE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RAE, 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 RAE 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 TrueZIP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TrueZIP is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TrueZIP into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RAE with TrueZIP. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RAE files.
Programs to open RAE file
Remember to download programs supporting RAE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TrueZIP with RAE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RAE file to open in the TrueZIP 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TrueZIP application as the default for handling the RAE file.
Step 3. Update TrueZIP to the latest version
If, however, after binding TrueZIP with TrueZIP Encrypted ZIP Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Schlichtherle IT Services website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RAE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RAE 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RAE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RAE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RAE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 RAE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Schlichtherle IT Services, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RAE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RAE file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RAE to close. However, some background programs may block the RAE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
