Extraction Problem

Michael_Davies · 05-24-2003, 03:08 PM

Hi guys, I recently downloaded a piece of software (err think "shop" "Photo" and "seven"

) and it was in a compressed form, first of all for some reason the extractor I am using (Winace) did not pick up the file asssociation so I have to Left click to extract, everything seemed to be going fine, maybe extraction was bit slow, but it was a big file and then suddenly just at the end it said it had an error extraction data1.cab!! its like 146Mb or something. So I click ok and thought I would see if the software would still install, so I clicked on Setup and it treid also to extract data1.cab and failed near end it appeared also. I have tried extracting the file again to no prevail. Interestingly I have just seen that the file is and .exe so not really a file that OI should be extracting in winace. do I need to burn it straight onto CD or something or is there something i'm missing please help. I cannot redownload the program as I have 56k modem and is likely to tip me over the edge of my sanity! :hit

i checked my folder for photoshop 7.0 and yes in it there is a data1.cab zip file but it is still zipped. My photoshop works great without being unzipped and it was 157mb. i would try to install anyway. if not PM me and i will send you what you need.

Thanks berks its not actually trying to extract data1.cab that its the problem its that the whole program (setup.exe etc..) where all put into an exe file that I am trying to extract, thanks for your offer that would be great!

my humble opinion is that the file is corrupt???

if it's an .exe file you should be able to just double click to start the setup.does winace says anything to you??

so the next time you have a problem with some s/w you have paid for, should we also be sarcastic, and tell you, "you should have down loaded it first, and not wasted your money."
I think not, if you can't help, maybe better to pass, while not a flame as such, still bad enough to piss people off, and that not what this forum is about
