Installation error - waddywoos - 08-21-2009
Hey guys, wonding if anyone can enlighten me as to what is the problem i have...
I heard about dolphin today, clicked to download the 64 bit version from the dolphin site. It finished downloading, I hit okay and then a black box appeared for a split second top left of my screen and that was it. There were no messages, nothing at all.
confused!!
any help greatly appreciated

its a self extracting archive, not an installation file. save the file to a new folder on your hard drive, then open it.

Okay, did that just now - double cliked on it once i'd saved it and it still just comes up with that black box fr a split second and nothing else happens?

it should have created a folder called "dolphin' in the same folder as the exe archive
RE: Installation error - waddywoos - 08-21-2009
nope, when i saved it.... now there's just a: Dolphin_3972 thing there and the file type is 'application' but everytime i click on it the black box comes up and disappears and thats it.

and no dolphin folder is created where the file is saved?
if u have 7-zip just get a new build from here: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-2332.html

I suggest you get to get one of Orleans builds, this isn't worth the Dilemma.

Only the Downloads on the main page are self extracted
Just about all the other ones are compressed archives.
All you need is win-rar.
