I downloaded it and I can't UNRAR it. I have error messages. Can someone send it to me UNPACKED or upload it somewhere where I can download it?

Thank you

You might need to update your version of winrar.

You have to rename the file from launcher.zip to launcher.exe

Now run along and read...

vB doesn't allow us to upload executables, so FT uploaded the executable renamed as a zip file. All you need to do is rename it in Windows Explorer. Select the file, press F2, and replace the ".zip" with ".exe".

If you can't see the ".zip" in your normal explorer view, you'll need to enable visible file extensions. In XP, open up explorer, then click on the Tools menu > Folder Options > View > Advanced settings, and look underneath there. Then rename your file. :)

Heh, that's cool. It's a pain not having file extensions sometimes, so I just keep them on by default.

from the dos prompt type:  

ren whatever.exe.zip whatever.exe

whatever being the file name..

Edit: Renaming from windows 98 will still keep the double extension, that is if your using windows 98..

Hmmm... Does XP have a dos prompt? Thinking of getting a new pc sometime in the future and was wondering if they kept the dos prompt?

...bah.  Iprefer to leave them off until I need them, otherwise there's the risk of forgetting to replace it if you rename the file. So poo-poo to you. :p
