Jack the Swede in Spain Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sure you have a valid path to the folder you want to unzip to, in the "unzipper"`? Choose the option "unzip here" instead. Jack the Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi. I use Internet Download Manager that downloads it as a rar file ,to C downloads, then cut and paste file to a blank folder and then use rar to unzip it, then run whatever it is.

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Unzip it in the Download folder "Unzip here" and move the unzipped files to the folder you want them in and install from there OR before you move them.

birdguy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I "Unzip to here" and then install. No problems. After installing I move the installation file to the disk I have all my installation files stored on. Couldn't be easier. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Read my post I don't have trouble unzipping, it's the hidden files thing, no matter what I do it's not showing all files and when it does before I can get to them they dissapear. Well the exe file does. Not all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi. Sorry getting so annoyed about it all,of course it's about the unzipping, but mainly about hidden files as wether the show hidden files is ticked or unticked most times the exe file is missing or its there for a couple seconds before it dissapears. I just can not understand it, it was ok this morning, installed loads of stuff then after lunch it started playing up and I've got about another 15 files to download yet. Sorry ranting. Derek.

Dadtom65 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi Jack. Thanks for that, and that's what I have been doing, but I have been applying it, is that the same as ticking OK. I would have thought so. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
