7zip package won't extract.

Last thread. My 7zip package which I downloaded from the main site will not open. A CMD box just opens and closes.

You probably not fully downloaded it

I did. It was a complete program. This happens all the time with programs like this for me. 3:.

I will transfer from my main to my laptop.

Rev 3404 right?

Can I have a .rar version of rev 3404?

Yeah Rev 3404.
Try opening it with 7zip or Winrar, when its open select all the files and drag and drop them to a new folder (don't matter where the new folder is, just make it on ur desktop if not sure).
Then it must work.

This is self-exracting archive, no need for WinRAR or 7zip

Using Windows 7 RC
any help would be great

I'm having the same issues here, nothing I do seems to work. I even tried winrar and (I didn't think this would work anyway) changed the file extension from .exe to .7z and .rar. Would it be possible to set up the same download differently? Have a second download link with one that is uncompressed, or still compressed but with a different compression program?
