Sources of R06 Problems

Frequent R06 Opening Issues

WinZip Removed

If you attempt to load your R06 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open R06 Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to WinZip missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your R06 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your R06, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

WinZip Requires Update

It is possible that your version of WinZip isn't able to open your Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed File file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version WinZip (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: If you right-click on your R06 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening R06 files are due to having the incorrect version of WinZip installed on your computer.
