[Aaron_T]

I have just recently downloaded a program called Virtual DJ from torrentspy.com and the download went fine but i'm having a wee bit of trouble getting it installed, here is a screenshot.

i cant seem to work out how to get it installed, i have tried to extract all of the files into a folder and doing it that way but it keeps saying that it needs the next volume or something.

help would be appreciated :)

Did you open the twk file with notepad?

[Aaron_T]

yeah i did it just gives a detailed description of what the program does and why its so popular, then 2 instructions which say:

1. unzip, unrar, install and check /KEY/ directory
2. Enjoy

:dabs:

but it keeps saying that it needs the next volume or something.

sounds to me like either a damaged or incomplete archive, OR....
are they .rar or .zip files?

if they are .rar files:
then they're damaged/incomplete

if they're .zip files:
they're either damaged/incomplete, or....
you may have to unzip them to get to the .rar archives
(highlight them all, select "extract files...")
it's absolutely stupid, but I have seen numerous files archived in such a way

I usually turn off windows explorer->folder options->view->hide file extensions for known file types.

>it needs the next volume or something.

This is probably because multipart rar archives are usally named file.rar file.r01 file.r02

If you click on twkdj32a it does not know that twkdj32b is another part of the archive.

When it asked for "the next volume or somthing" (DO NOT SAY OR SOMTHING WHEN ASKING FOR HELP, QUOTE THE EXACT WORDS THAT APPEAR ON THE SCREEN) then just browse to the next file.

and don't forget that running .exe's from untrustworthy sources is high risk. An .exe can do anything to your computer. At a minimum virus scann the extracted installer and after installation.

I still cant get the fooking thing to work, might it need to be burned to a disc? :unsure:

[zaphodiv]

When asking for help do not say "it dosn't work", describe _exactly_ what you did and what happened.

Burning the files shown above to disc will not help.

To Threadstarter :

you can try this :

Unrar twkdj32a and it should automatically unrar all the rest ( which is the b, c ,d, etc.. ) into a folder.

The program ask you that its needs the next volume becos you need to unrar the "a" in that directory and not any where else

OR the your .rar files are corrupted/incomplete download, thus you may need to download all over again

Open My Computer and click Folder Options on the Tools menu.
Click the View tab.
Disable Hide extensions of known file types by removing the checkmark.
Click OK to exit.

Now you can see what filetypes you're dealing with.
My guess is that they are *.zip archives.
Highlight all the twkdj32* archives and right-click-drag twkdj32a to a space in the same folder (you'll see ghost icons for all the selected files moving).
In the popup context menu, select Extract to ..\twkdj32a\. You can overwrite files if WinRAR asks.
Go to the folder WinRAR just created and you'll see the RAR set and you can then extract them wherever you like.

This is a old story for me. Some noobs want to release something, they don't know how to rar it down and sometimes even forget few things. But as i see it it seems like you have all parts, since the last is always the smallest in size.

You notice there's two Winraw , can't install problems on here today ? :huh:

I think you hit the nail on the head about the noob release's .
