edgewriter Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have tried to download both of these programs several times today: Archive Invalidation invalidated http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 FOSE http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4888 This is the 1.4 version When I try to unzip these programs, error messages say files were corrupted. The exe files bring up error messages when clicked on. I tried with Explorer and with Firefox and had the same result.At first I thought it was the poster of the files, but no one else seems to have this problem. can you help?

buddah Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Probably because they are self extracting files in the archives, open with 7z and right click on the file. copy to desktop. double click to execute the auto installer. That is for archive invalidation invalidated. For FOSE, open the file with 7z, and read the installation instructions....it also has an exe file which your archive tool may not be allowed to extract. Follow the instructions and put the files where the readme tells you. Buddah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgewriter Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks Buddah, It worked. I don't understand why ALzip wasn't unzipping the files correctly. It has always worked before. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Alzip, may not know how to handle executable files or is set up not to allow them to run as a safety feature. I don't use that extraction tool, so I am guessing. Buddah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
