Cannot open setup from compressed folder

Post by Capt. White »

Hey after trying to get my sound back by uninstalling then re installing i came across the problem that i could not open the setup folder from the file downloaded from gamers hell i tried downloading it again and selecting the 'Open' option rather than save but that did not work either. Does anybody know how to fix this problem on Windows XP i get a message saying this folder may depend on other files located elsewhere yada yada its recommended you extract all files first (this does not work once i have extracted it either) and then i get 2 options 'Extract All' or 'Run' If i select run then nothing happens even if i leave it for a while. Please help me fix this problem.
TIA

I too have recently installed the game under a fresh copy of XP.

I think the file download from GamersHell is corrupt and FilePlanet is just a pain. I recommend you download from WorthPlaying - that's the file that worked for me.

Thanks for the tip. erm if anybody reads this who knows anything about the download do you think you could attempt to find out or try to fix the download if it is corrupt i suspected it myself because last time i downloaded the game i had to do the same. Thanks For the reply KNomad
