EVOL138 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Hello, I'm running windows 7 64 bit. I have win rar and it was working great now all of a sudden, I can't unzip any mod files into the data folder. Any ideas? I can unzip them to the desktop but not to the data folder. I even reinstalled the game and still can't unzip them. Thanks Edited August 11, 2011 by EVOL138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herculine Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I recommend using 7-zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herculine Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Check your UAC security settings; by default Windows 7 is afraid of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herculine Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 With most games on Windows 7 it is recommended to install the game to a different location other than the default location the installer chooses (in other words, select the custom install option and simply choose a different directory rather than C:/Program Files (x86) etc.). If this doesn't solve your problem you may have some other issues that don't have anything to do with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candex Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I just heard of someone else having the same problem with winrar and 7zip. this oneQuestion: Does this problem affect also files that are completely game unrelated, i.e.:Can you zip/unzip anything else to any other location?If you can't make it work, I ask you: Did you install any VERY recent Windows Update that might be causing this problem? I don't know if this is even possible. But if uac off you suddenly can't make your 7zip/winrar work for anything...there should be something wrong, and that is not Oblivion.
