Viktorkrum77 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ok, I downloaded a demo file of a program and it went to this WinZip thingy. This also happened with the Photoshop CS2 trial. I have no idea what this WinZip thing is, or how to use it. It's got all the files that were downloaded, but they are only viewable in note pad. I want to install the program, what do I do?

Earpy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Do you have Winrar installed on your system? If not then simply google Winrar and download the free trial from there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Winzip is an application to compress and decompress zip archives. This makes their filesize smaller, but they need to be decompressed before they can be opened. Right click on the archive and select decompress, or extract files. Then extract them into a folder and then run the installer. You don't need Winrar, as far as I know every version of Windows has shipped with an archiving application to handle zip files. If you really want a different program to handle them, I suggest 7zip - Winrar is a free trial, 7zip is actually free software. Where the bloody hell are you?

Viktorkrum77 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yea, I believe I have Winrar. If I recall it correctly, it made me download it for Photoshop. This is what it looks like: Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonda Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 just extract the files where ever you wish. FYI, the trial period doesn't actually expire on winzip. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
