Having Trouble Installing Dolphin to HP Laptop - gmaxwell6 - 06-08-2020
Hi all, I am currently in the process of installing Dolphin. I have downloaded the latest version of Visual Studio, but when I try and start the installation for Dolphin, the message below pops up.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

You will need to download a program like 7-Zip in order to open the .7z file.

So I went to 7-zips website. Which one from the following link would work best ?

I would suggest the latest version (7-Zip 19.00), .exe, 64-bit x64.

Okay so I downloaded the version you suggested, but I still get the same error message from the OP. How do I enable 7-Zip to work with Visual Studio?

7-Zip isn't supposed to be used together with Visual Studio... You're just supposed to open the .7z file in 7-Zip and extract it.

Okay so I tried that and I'm still getting error messages. The error messages appeared after I clicked on the Dolphin.exe file.

You need to extract the entire folder, not just Dolphin.exe.

Where do I extract the entire folder to?

Wherever you want.
