TBZ2 File Complications


Troubles Opening TBZ2 Files

WinRAR Isn't There

Double-clicking your TBZ2 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open TBZ2 File". If so, it typically means that you don't have WinRAR installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your TBZ2 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: Another TBZ2-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated WinRAR

Sometimes your installed version of WinRAR won't support your Tar BZip 2 Compressed File file. If you do not have the proper version WinRAR (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 TBZ2 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening TBZ2 files are due to having the wrong version of WinRAR installed.
