Common Problems Opening GCA Files

IZArc is Not Installed

You attempt to load your GCA file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The GCA File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to IZArc missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the GCA file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


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


Incorrect IZArc Version

In other instances, your GCA File Archive file version may not be supported by your version of IZArc. If you've got the wrong version of IZArc installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a GCA File Archive file version that was created by a newer version of IZArc than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your GCA file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


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