What is TEXINFO file?

How to open TEXINFO file?
The most common problem when using Texinfo Source is that a specific TEXINFO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TEXINFO, 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 TEXINFO 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 LaTeX
In this case, you should first verify that the LaTeX application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LaTeX in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TEXINFO.
Programs to open TEXINFO file
Remember to download programs supporting TEXINFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LaTeX with TEXINFO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TEXINFO file still does not use the LaTeX program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TEXINFO file with the LaTeX program.
Step 3. Update LaTeX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LaTeX program with the Texinfo Source file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the LaTeX Project Development Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TEXINFO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The TEXINFO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TEXINFO file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TEXINFO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TEXINFO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TEXINFO 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TEXINFO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TEXINFO 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TEXINFO 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TEXINFO file again. However, some background programs may block the TEXINFO file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
