File extension .EX_

File description

EX_ file format is used to define executable compressed file. This file extension is given to the file archive which is made executable and compressed both at the same time.

This combines decompression code with the compressed data. The compression rate depends upon the type of software application which is used to create the file. This file format is used for storing software applications data. This allows the user to save all the required data associated with software application into one single file for sharing purposes. Compression of these files also helps in further decreasing the size of the compressed executable file.

Remember that you need to download a program to support a particular file type. So first look through the entire contents of the website to select a program to support just the file you have.

Other possible reasons why your .EX_ file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .EX_ file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .EX_ file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .EX_ file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .EX_ file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

  • Right-click the .EX_ file
  • Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
  • Locate the appropriate application
  • Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
