6.03 will not extract for me!?!?!

CecilCooper · 06-24-2004, 07:44 PM

I downloaded the latest patch and put it in the main ootp6 folder just where all the other patches are and when I click on it to extract it I get this error ....
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Cannot open C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP 6\ootp603.exe

I am on win xp and never had a problem in the past with the patches.

Any ideas? Thanks

It's not a zip, it's an ".exe".

well, either way, when I click on it, and say OPEN the WINRAR self-extracting archive comes up and says the message above.

When I click on the ootp602a file the same way..... the box comes up and says "extracting ootp6.exe" and it completes.

Any ideas, or should I try to redownload?

Download again, it's not the patch but you could have gotten a bad d/l. Mine worked fine and I've not heard of any other problems.

Probably a corrupted download. Download it again.

DL # 2 worked for me. Not sure what happened on that first one, but thanks everyone.
