FreeArc Archive is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open WRC file?
The main problem with FreeArc Archive is that the WRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WRC, 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 WRC 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 PeaZip
The first step is to check if the computer has the PeaZip program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PeaZip 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 WRC.
Programs to open WRC file
Remember to download programs supporting WRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PeaZip with WRC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WRC file to open in the PeaZip 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 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. 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 PeaZip application as the default for handling the WRC file.
Step 3. Update PeaZip to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PeaZip program with the FreeArc Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Giorgio Tani website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WRC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The WRC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WRC file. 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 WRC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WRC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WRC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WRC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bulat Ziganshin
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WRC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WRC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WRC file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
