Open a document file

This action lets you execute a program or open a document file. This function is useful for opening single or multiple document files at the end of the extraction process, or to execute standard applications.

In order to open a document file, the package automatically asks Windows to run the associated application. For example: to open a bitmap file (.BMP ), the default bitmap editor (generally Microsoft Paint) will be run.
