Software Problem

hi i wonder if you can help i 've just downloaded flight simulater 2002

from kazaa how do i install the program .i'm new to all this so if you can explain to

me in detail it would be a great help

thanks :helpsmile:

What kind of file is it?

.exe - just find it and double click it.
.zip - needs to be unzipped using winrar, winzip, or one of the bazillion freeware zip utils. Usually contains a .exe which you run after unzipping it.
.iso - CD image. You need to get hold of 'Nero' and burn the ISO to a CD. you then install the game from the CD. probably the most common type now.
.rar - see .zip

First scan the file with a antivirus if you have one.

all i know it's a zip file i've looked through it and can't find any .exe

What do you find?How many files are inside the zip ?

Well, what files does the zip contain?

.iso? .bin? theres not much anyone can do for you without specific infomation, you know. -_-

i unzipped the file opened it up

inside was a folder with data on it

application with 4 dos

11 files with .mve

3 files freespace 2

1 patch32.dll

1 pxo

8 .vp

1 unpack

1 msdos unpack

1 wunpack

does this help

.vp - freespace archive,
.mve - interplay video archive
.dll - dynamic link library

i dont recognise pxo, but i think you want to try running wunpack (im assuming its a program, since you havn't given the .*** extension). I.E, extract all files to a new folder, then run wunpack.

i think.

i tried running wunpack all that happens is a small black window appears then dissapears

How big was the downloaded zip file?

I don't got any message from you , sorry.And that is a fake , and why is a fake , is a long story , the simple reply is because that one he added that on his sharedfolder is just an idiot.
