dgodwin Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I downloaded 7-zip but it dosnt install right on my OS "vista". To many problems to explain but the main ones are as follows.1. files manager dosnt show any actual 7-zip or rar files I downloaded. I moved them from a new folder on desk top to a new folder in computer/programs/7files <thats what i named it. No files :wallbash: 2.7zip dosnt search desk top? :wallbash: 3.Is the damn thing installed right? :wallbash: Can any one offer a sugestion on an alternate installer/unzip to handle these files im missing alot of mods. :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Vista has some features that you need to be aware of, first and foremost is making sure you are logged in on the administrator account or have UAC disabled. If you are not logged in as the adminstrator...you do no have permissions to install new programs and applications. That is the first thing that I would check....I don't use Vista myself, but run into these same issues daily as part of my job. Other vista users will surely be able to answer your questions better than I, but what I have said is always the first thing to check.

dgodwin Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I do use the admin account and i get promted to install regular .zip files<not with 7z but regular vista exstract commad>. The .zip files work i can install those mods. Just problems with files ext 7z and rar. i dont have a progam to unpack them. 7z dosnt show but a few folders in progams with like cab files ect. 7z dosnt even recognize 7z files i suppose. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlcooper Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi, I use vista and all I use is "Winrar". It will decompress zip, 7z, and rar files. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgodwin Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes just goggled found http://www.win-rar.com/download.html 3.80. The only thing is with permissions on, I unpack them in place. Then manually let vista move the esm and folders to the data folder :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgodwin Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I only asossiated 7z and rar. I would have to move .zip files manualy too if i asossiated them with win-rar as well. :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
