WileyEquid · 08-07-2002, 07:37 PM

Geez...and here I thought I'd be up all night ..... I've downloaded Markus' update twice now through the thread here.... and every time I try extracting it, I get a Windows Message that says "no valid file archive, try downloading again..." Any suggestions...I can read the "read me" file...but that's it....

What compression program are you using? I've used WinZip with everything .400 has released and I haven't had any problems. I know Win XP has some built in compression program that is really flakey. Also, if you are using XP, when you download, don't save as an compressed folder...I had problems with it that way. Had to select All files (*.*) to get it to work with WinZip

Hmmm..not using XP on this machine....and using WinZip also.... and like you, until this time, have never had a problem unzipping an .400 Studios download...I'm gong it a third time...now.
